CROOKSTON, Minn. - The University of Minnesota Crookston tennis team announced the signing of Terezie Drasilova (Naples, Fla./ES American School) as the program's first signee for 2025. Drasilova is originally from Czech Republic.

"We are very excited to have Terezie join the Golden Eagle tennis family!," said Head Coach Josh Lunak. "She is a complete player who enjoys playing at the net. She has been training the past three years at the Emilio Sanchez tennis academy and will bring extensive tennis experience to our squad next year. She will be majoring in animal science (pre-vet) and will be a great fit for our university."

The Golden Eagles have continued to show vast improvement in recent seasons, making their first-ever NSIC Tournament appearance in 2024, finishing with their best-ever season of 10-5 (5-4 NSIC). Minnesota Crookston has a young core featuring international players Daniela de Lucas Rivera (Madrid, Spain), Ariadna Solis Guals (Santpedor, Spain), Asli Oktay (Istanbul, Turkey), Nadia Cases Mundet (Barcelona, Spain), Kavya Singh (Agra, India), and Abril Manas Hernandez (Barcelona, Spain). In addition, they have Minnesota-natives Abby VanPelt and Katie VanPelt (Austin, Minn.) slated to return in 2026. De Lucas Rivera was an All-NSIC Second Team selection in 2024.
