"She is currently ranked number 87 in the country in singles and a terrific doubles player.  She has high standards for herself and for her team.  We are very excited to have her join us and  do special things here.  Throughout the recruiting process, her passion to be an Arizona Wildcat was what truly stood out.  She will be a proud Wildcat for life and that was very evident.  She will represent us well and we look forward to adding her wealth of knowledge of her college experience to our team to help build on what we were already doing." 

Maxfield recorded a team-best record of 13-2 at the No. 2 position, which is the most wins she has collected in one season. She also had the longest winning streak throughout the season winning 11 in a row.
