FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU senior Nina Munch-Soegaard was honored with the Texas Regional Cissie Leary Award for Sportsmanship by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Monday.
The recent TCU graduate earned an at-large bid into the 2010 NCAA singles bracket, making her second career appearance at the Championships. The Amarillo, Texas native was named to the 2010 all-MWC singles team, boasting a 14-13 overall record this spring. She has had a spring season to prepare for the stout talent at the NCAA Singles Championships, having played 20 ranked opponents from the top spot in the lineup for TCU.
Munch-Soegaard, a 2009 ITA Singles All-American, currently owns a career singles ledger of 95-45, one win shy of matching former Frog Teresa Dobson for the fifth-most victories in school history.
The ITA/Cissie Leary Award for Sportsmanship goes to a Division I women's player who displays inspiring dedication and commitment to her team, which has enhanced her team's performance and exemplified the spirit of college tennis. It dates back to 1997 and is memory of the late and widely admired Penn women's tennis coach Cissie Leary.
