Her perseverance and dedication to this team is remarkable as she started her career at Arizona as an early high school graduate and enrolled in Spring 2023. She did not complete her freshman year after suffering a season ending injury before the season began and then suffered another injury during her sophomore year. She is quiet and reserved and is majoring in Criminal Justice."
Athlete: Alexander "Sasha" Rozin

It can be very challenging to balance both the rigorous Eller course load while competing at the highest level in a very demanding Tennis schedule and Sasha has exceled at both."
