Texas A&M has long been a stalwart in college women's tennis. The Aggies have participated in the NCAA Championships every year this century and reached the championship match in 2013.
Head Coach Mark Weaver is now in his third year at the helm of the program, and he is methodically building up the program in College Station. 2017 saw the unseeded Aggies upset No. 16 Baylor in the NCAA Tournament and advance to the Round of 16 in Athens before falling to No. 1 seed and eventual national champion Florida. Recruiting was at an all-time high as well, as Weaver reeled in the school's first-ever Top 10 recruiting class.
Weaver can look forward to even more in 2018-19, as our panel voted Texas A&M No. 1 in our Winter Recruiting Class Rankings. The Aggies earned 8 of 19 first-place votes and 450 out of a possible 475 points to outdistance the competition. The Aggie class features a pair of Blue Chip seniors and a top Canadian player.

Can't forget about Coach Szabo as well. He had to play a big part in getting Renae from Austrailia, being an Aussie himself. I know Coach Weaver was working hard on those first few recruits (Goldsmith, Townsend) but props to Szabo as well for finishing off the class! Two great men getting to work

Also, according to tennisrecruiting.net, the men's class is at #2. I don't believe this includes the addition of the #1 ranked player.

I have heard that Jordan Szabo had a lot to do with all the new signings, not just the Australian girl.
