TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team announced the additions of signees Gabrielle Guenther and Morgan Pyrz on Friday.
"I am very excited to officially welcome Gabby and Morgan to our program," head coach Eric Toth said. "Coach Hensley and I identified this group as individuals we want to have represent our program and we are both very happy it played out the way it did. These girls have exceptional personal qualities which will make them terrific student-athletes, teammates, and Bearcats. Both have proven to be able to play a very high level throughout their junior careers, which is quite important as our program transitions to the Big 12 next fall."
Guenther is a five-star from Mishawaka Ind., who was rated as the top-player in Indiana and 73rd nationally by TennisRecruiting.net. Guenther comes from an athletic family; her father, Eric Guenther, played football at the University of Illinois and went on to play in the NFL and her mother, Natasha Guenther, competed for University of Illinois swimming and diving and advanced to the Olympic Trials.
Pyrz is a five-star from Lakes Tennis Academy in Plano, Texas, ranked as the number six player in the state and 54th nationally by TennisRecruiting.net. Pyrz competed in the 2022 USTA/Billie Jean King Hard Court Championships, where she advanced to the singles round of 32 and was a doubles quarterfinalist.
