AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State tennis program signed five players set to arrive this fall as it revamps its roster. The group has been ranked the No. 20 class nationally by Tennis Recruiting Network.

It also ranks as the second-best class in the Big 12 Conference, trailing only UCF (No. 2).

Iowa State’s five player class includes: Julia Camblor (Gijon, Spain), Gabriela Da Silva (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Suzanie Pretorius (Potchefstroom, South Africa), Cristina Ramos Sierra (Madrid, Spain) and Mari Paz Alberto Vilar (Alcala De Henares, Spain).

“I am excited that we have added the five young ladies coming in August,” Maestas said. “We identified passionate, hardworking kids that wanted to be a part of the build here in Ames. Yair and I feel like we found our type of young ladies who will embrace what we see for the future.”
