Women's Tennis Adds Two for 2020-21

DETROIT -- Head coach Sheila Snyder and the women's tennis program announced the addition of two student-athletes via National Letters of Intent during the November signing period. Suki Mandair (Dexter, Mich. / Ann Arbor Skyline) and Melanie Zampardo (Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich. / University Liggett) will join the 2019-20 GLIAC Champions in the fall of 2020.

"The addition of Suki and Melanie will add depth to our roster for the 2020-21 school year," said Snyder. "With our entire team returning next year (fall 2020), that squad will be led by our seven seniors. This will allow our two recruits to come in and adjust to the college game as well as learning from a team with great chemistry which has been very successful. Both Melanie and Suki are very strong on and off the court."
