SAN FRANCISCO – The University of San Francisco women's tennis director Peter Bartlett announced the signing of Rita Colyer to a national letter of intent. The newcomer is set to enroll at USF for the 2018-19 year.
Colyer's tennis resume speaks for itself as far as what she can bring to the Dons roster. She was an International Tennis Federation quarter finalist and semi-finalist. Colyer also was a Provincial doubles champion, as well as a OFFSA doubles champion.
The Canadian native was a top-10 finisher in the county's national rankings.
Off-the-court, Colyer earned academic honors every year of her schooling, from freshman to senior class. In addition to those accolades, she was awarded an English award and a Health Care award.
COACH'S QUOTE
"We are really excited to have Rita join our USF tennis family. We feel she will add some needed depth to our line-up and team for next season. She has been doing a great job competing this season in a lot of ITF tournaments and can become an impact player for our team going forward. Based on meeting her and spending time during the recruiting process we feel she has a great attitude and work ethic which will be a great fit for our program. Already she has been logging some positive results in her doubles and singles play. Additionally, she is an outstanding student who excel in the classroom and enjoys challenging learning environments."
It's OFFICAL! WELCOME TO THE HILLTOP, Rita Coyler! We can't wait for you to get here next year! ??????????
