FORT WORTH, TEXAS (September 4, 2008) TCU women's tennis head coach Jefferson Hammond will take a half dozen Frogs to the 2008 Riviera/ITA All-American Championships at Pacific Palisades, Calif., Sept. 27-Oct. 5. The six Frogs selected for this year’s tournament tops TCU’s highest number of players selected all-time.“We are very excited about having six of our girls selected,” Hammond said. “It’s hard enough to have one or two players invited to this event, so we are extremely happy for our girls to have this opportunity.”
Senior Anna Sydorska is making her third appearance at the All-American Championships, selected alongside doubles partner, senior Macall Harkins, for main draw doubles, as well as prequalifying singles.
Joining Sydorska in the prequalifying singles bracket is Harkins and sophomore
Katariina Tuohimaa. A native of Helsinki, Finland, Tuohimaa is also teamed with
sophomore Idunn Hertzberg for prequalifying doubles. Last spring, the pair recorded a perfect mark of 8-0 in league play at the top two positions.
Junior Nina Munch-Soegaard, TCU’s wins leader with an overall record of 26-11 last season, was selected for qualifying singles and will join sophomore Maria Babanova in prequalifying doubles. The duo posted a perfect 10-0 record last season.
