Stetson Women's Tennis continues to build on its recent success with a nationally recognized recruiting class for the upcoming 2025 season. The Hatters earned the No. 8 spot on Tennis Recruiting Network's Top 25 Mid-Major Women's Recruiting Classes, highlighting the strength of their incoming talent.
"We are excited about our freshman class this year," said Head Coach Travis Sandlant. "It's a testament to their talent that we are nationally recognized. They will no doubt be successful at Stetson."
Coming off back-to-back ASUN Regular Season and Conference Championship titles, the Hatters faced a key transition period following the graduation of several standout players. Coach Sandlant responded by securing international standouts Yuki Mizuguchi from Okinawa, Japan, and Ariel Avidan from Israel.
Their additions immediately elevated Stetson into the top 10 of the mid-major recruiting rankings—just behind ASUN rival Florida Gulf Coast (No. 6) and ahead of in-state competitor Florida Atlantic (No. 9).
