ITA Release
QUEENS, N.Y. ââ'¬" St. John's women's tennis freshman sensation Jessica Livianu earned a pair of distinctions from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) on Monday afternoon as she was named the ITA's Northeast Rookie of the Year and Player to Watch.
The ITA will announce its national winners on Tuesday, May 23rd.
Livianu, who was recently named the BIG EAST Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, enjoyed an incredible season as she compiled 40-2 record in match play, going 18-2 in singles play at the No. 1 spot and a perfect 22-0 in doubles play.
The freshman has notched a number of program firsts during her short time with the Red Storm as Livianu has earned the program's first-ever invitation to the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in the fall.
Later this month, Livianu will become the program's first student-athlete to compete at the NCAA Division I Women's Singles Championship, which will be played in Athens, Ga. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native received an automatic qualification from the BIG EAST Conference to this national championship tournament.
