AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts women's tennis team signed one player during the early signing period, announced Head Coach Judy Dixon this afternoon. High School senior Kristin DiPiero (Huntingdon Valley, Pa.) will be joining the Minutewomen for the Fall 2004 season.
DiPiero currently holds a Middle States ranking of 17th in Girls 18- singles. She has been named to the first- team All-League every year, while being crowned Bicentennial League champion in first singles every year as well. As a junior she was voted best Class AA player and first-team All-Southeastern Pennsylvania. As a freshman, she finished in the top eight in the state as a doubles player.
"This is a kid who can step in and have an immediate impact on our program," said Head Coach Judy Dixon. "She is a very hard worker who will definately continue to improve in college. She will add substantial depth to our young squad."
Dixon's team opens up their spring season on Feb. 6, as they host Binghamton. The Minutewomen completed a successful fall campaign undefeated, as they went 3-0 in dual meets, beating Williams College, St. John's University and The University of Connecticut.
