Rice women's tennis coach Elizabeth Schmidt announced on Tuesday that Linda Huang, who won 20 singles matches during her freshman year at the University of Colorado, will join the Owls as a transfer for the 2018-19 season.
Haung was 20-13 overall for the Buffalos and was named the Rookie of the Year for the Mountain region by the ITA (Intercollegiate Tennis Association). The native of Stratfield, NSW, Australia reached the finals of ITA Mountain Regional Championship in singles and concluded the fall tournament schedule with an 11-3 record and a No. 54 national ranking.
She posted a 9-10 record in spring dual action, including an 8-10 while playing at the first singles line. She played first singles when Rice defeated Colorado 4-3 on March 13, dropping a three-set match to graduating senior Lindsey Hodge.
Huang will join incoming freshmen Anastasia and Victoria Smirnova as new additions to the Rice roster for the 2018-19 season.
