The Nebraska women’s tennis team continues to build its roster with the addition of sophomore transfers Yuzu Miyoshi and Tiziana Rossini for the 2024-25 season.
Miyoshi competed at No. 1 singles and doubles as a freshman at Sophia University in Japan and was named the 2022 player of the year. From Kawasaki, Kagawa, Japan, Miyoshi joins the Big Red with three years of eligibility remaining. Prior to college, she competed in the Kanto Junior Tennis Championship and was named Japan Junior Tennis Tour Champions - Champion.
“I’m super excited to add Yuzu to our Husker family,” Head Coach German Dalmagro said. “She’s very talented and eager to get to work. Her best tennis is ahead of her, and we are very fortunate she chose us to help her with her development. She will be a great college player. She’s very motivated and works hard, and she’s an even better person. I know she will make our team better on and off the court. Looking forward to having her here this fall.”
“The coaches and the teammates are a great fit for me, and Nebraska has the best tennis facilities,” Miyoshi said. “I believe Nebraska would be the best environment where I can improve my tennis.”
Rossini joins the Huskers after a decorated freshman season at VCU. Named Atlantic 10 Freshman of the Year, the Argentinian also tallied a 14-4 singles record.
“I’m super excited to add Tizi to our Husker family,” Dalmagro said. “I have known her for a couple years now, and I know she will make an impact right away. She’s had a great freshman year, and I know she will continue to raise her level once she gets to Nebraska. She’s a great competitor and plays with a lot of passion. Looking forward to seeing that passion while competing with her teammates. We are fortunate she chose Nebraska to continue her education and her tennis.”
Rossini has reached WTA rankings as high as 1003 in singles, as well as 874 in doubles. She also achieved an Argentina National Ranking of No. 2 and earned various titles including Argentina National Champion, W15 doubles champion and W15 singles semifinalist.
“I chose Nebraska because I think it’s exactly what I was looking for,” Rossini said. “An ambitious team, hungry for more and a place where I can grow as a person, student and player.”
