INDIANAPOLIS – Mary Stoiana, the reigning Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Player of the Year, headlined a group of three Aggies earning spots at next week's NCAA Individual Championships as she was tabbed the no. 1 seed for the women's singles championship.
Â
Joining Stoiana for the 64-player tournament are Nicole Khirin and Daria Smetannikov. Action is set for Nov. 19-24 at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas.
