BOULDER – University of Colorado tennis head coach Nicole Kenneally has signed Jeannez Daniel to a Financial Aid Agreement, announced Monday.
Daniel spent her freshman year at the University of Texas-El Paso during the 2014-15 season where she led the Miners in overall wins (22) with only eight losses. Daniel also recorded a 12-4 dual match record, second-best mark on the UTEP squad that went 12-5 during the spring season. UTEP is a member of Conference USA.
"We are real excited that Jeannez is joining our program,” Kenneally said. “The experience she gained on and off the court during her freshmen year is only going to be a win-win for Colorado.
“Playing No. 2 (singles) as a freshmen and putting up the wins she did was impressive. Jeannez is athletic and has a heart of a Buffalo as a competitor and I'm excited to see her competing in a CU uniform.”
Daniel's singles winning percentage of .733 from her 22-8 singles record, ranked eighth best for a single season in UTEP history. During the spring, 11 of her 12 singles wins occurred at No. 2 singles. Last fall, she paced UTEP with 10-tournament wins and finished the season winning seven of her last 10 matches.
Daniel joins a CU roster with only one junior and one senior; two freshmen and four sophomores.
Colorado begins the fall season September 24-27 with its own Invitational at the South Campus courts. At press time, Arkansas, Colorado State, Georgetown, New Mexico are scheduled to appear, among others.
