Dominika Zaprazna returns for her senior season after being named to the All-Conference USA first team. Zaprazna was ranked as high as No. 35 in the nation last season with partner Maria Voscekova in doubles. The duo, both from Bratislava, Slovakia, finished 15-4 at the No. 1 doubles position.
Zaprazna also played No. 1 singles last season and finished 10-8 while Voscekova, a junior, finished with a 13-6 record at No. 2 singles.
Also returning are sophomores Ellie Ball and Kai Broomfield; juniors Kelsi Halbert, Lexy Kessel, Wittlee Retton and Karlyn Timko; and senior Kara Kucin.
