OMAHA, Neb. – Creighton women's tennis seniors Valerie Negin and Bianca Rademacher created school history on Tuesday, Dec. 3, becoming the first doubles team in program history to earn an ITA National Ranking.
"This is a great recognition heading into the spring team season for Valerie and Bianca," said head coach Tom Lilly. "They can play some great doubles at times and had a strong fall season. They make a dynamic duo for sure."
The dynamic duo enters the rankings at No. 75 in doubles after finishing the fall season with a perfect 4-0 record against Division I opposition. Rademacher and Negin captured the No. 1 doubles main draw title at the Augustana Invite in September, before closing the fall season with a solid victory at the Bulldog Classic in November.
Negin, Rademacher and the rest of the Creighton women's tennis team will return to action for the spring dual season when they travel to battle Kansas in the season opener on Jan. 24 in Lawrence, Kan.
