Lanahan heads to Omaha from Southern California
OMAHA, Neb. – Creighton men's tennis head coach Tom Lilly announced the signing of Matthew Lanahan for the 2020-21 season, as Lanahan officially committed on Wednesday.
"We are happy that Matthew committed to us a few months ago and it immediately gave us a high-quality player and person to start the recruiting class of 2020," Lilly said. "Graduating half of our team is tough, so it was important to get someone right away that can compete at the Division I level and succeed with Creighton's academic standards. There's no doubt Matthew can do that and we anticipate him being a very good player for us for four years."
Lanahan will head to Omaha from Chula Vista, California.
The Southern California native paired with Daniel Dulay to win the 2018 CIF San Diego Section Doubles championship for Otay Ranch High School. He also earned First Team All-CIF San Diego section during each year he played for Otay Ranch.
Lanahan is listed as a four-star recruit on TennisRecruiting.net and owns a Universal Tennis Rating of 11.54.
"I couldn't be happier being able to commit to Creighton," Lanahan said. "When I visited, I knew it was the place I wanted to be and I'm proud to call it home for the next four years. The group of guys and coaches were awesome and I can't wait to be a part of this team as a Bluejay."
The Creighton men's tennis team begins the 2020 spring season on Jan. 18 in Iowa City, Iowa.
