East Carolina University’s tennis teams enter the new year with high hopes today and tomorrow, after a historic fall season that saw juniors Celia Ruiz and Ronni Georgi both excel respectively for their teams.
Ruiz became the first player in ECU women’s program history to earn an At-Large bid to the Oracle ITA National Championships in California among other accomplishments, while her sophomore teammate Lisa Hofbauer made history leading up to the spring season. The two became the first doubles team in program history to earn a seed at the ITA Carolina Regional during the 2017 fall campaign.
