Women's Tennis Signs Two for 2025-26

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville Women's Tennis has signed Sofia Segui and Isabella Moss to join the Bulldogs this upcoming year, announced today (Wednesday, June 25) by head coach Jeff Maren.

Segui played tennis at IES Calvia, while also earning her school's Academic Honors Award.

"I chose UNC Asheville because I felt an immediate connection with Coach Maren and his vision for the program," said Segui. "I truly believe joining the team will help me grow not only as a tennis player, but also as a person. I'm incredibly excited for this next chapter and can't wait to be part of something special."

"Sofia is not only an amazing player but an amazing person!" said Maren. "She is full of life and is passionate about becoming the best version of herself! I have no doubt that she will impact our team in many ways! We are blessed to have Sofia as a member of our tennis family!"

The Palma, Mallorca, Spain native plans to major in business.

Moss joins the Bulldogs from Great Britain, where she is currently ranked No. 37 on the U-18 circuit.

"I chose the University of North Carolina Asheville as I felt it was the best fit for me, both on and off court," said Moss. "Straight away from my first phone calls with Coach Maren and Coach Duncan, I felt this was a team where I could really improve and learn under their guidance. Their coaching philosophy and team values really resonated with me - they made what is a huge decision, really quite an easy decision for me! I think UNC Asheville will be a place where I can really grow as both a player and a person and am beyond thrilled to be joining this August, and so excited for this new chapter!"

"I am beyond excited to welcome Izzi to our tennis family!" said Maren. "I knew very quickly that she would be a good fit for us! Not only is she a great player, but she is also committed to growth and has a passion to learn and improve! She is also a great fighter on court, which I believe is a key ingredient to success at this level. Izzi's personality and character are welcoming and will make it easy for her to blend perfectly with her teammates! I can't wait for August to come!"
