TAMPA (July 13, 2017) – USF women's tennis head coach Cristina Moros added two freshmen, a sophomore transfer from Oregon and a walk-on to her roster Thursday.

The new players will help fill the spots left by seniors Vera Bessonova and Olga Martinez, who graduated in the spring after winning their second American Athletic Conference title.

"When I first saw Alex, she was just inside the top 100 in Texas. I noticed her potential right away, and once I got to know her more I knew she would fit into our program and culture perfectly. There is no doubt in my mind she has her best tennis ahead of her, and she will help our team achieve some great things in her four years playing for the Bulls."
