For the second consecutive year, UH’s recruiting class has cracked the top 25. After nabbing the No. 6 class last season, head coach Patrick Sullivan has pulled in the No. 24 group this season, according to TennisRecruiting.net on Monday. The 2014 crop includes Angela Lorenzo (Valladolid, Spain), Carolina Costamagna (Cordoba, Argentina), and Mina Markovic (Belgrade, Serbia) and was selected as the second best in the American Athletic Conference, following No. 16 Louisville.

“We are very, very high on this class and are glad the experts agree,” Sullivan said in a statement. “I believe their results on the court are going to be even better than this ranking, and I think the group is every bit as strong as last year’s top-10 class.”

Last season’s top-10 recruiting class, which included Despoina Vogasari, Maria Andrea Cardenas and Tina Rupert, is 9-0 combined in singles action this spring.
