Lady Vols Add Duckworth to 2018 Class
November 15, 2017 | Women's Tennis
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee women's tennis team added a second member to its 2018 class on Wednesday in Kylie Duckworth.
"When we had the privilege of meeting Kylie, you could tell right away she was special," head coach Alison Ojeda said. "She was someone who separated themselves from her peers. I noticed that right away and wanted to do whatever we could to get her to join our family on Rocky Top. She will make our program better and will be a role model within our team."
A native of Martinez, Georgia, Duckworth is rated as a four-star on TennisRecruiting.net. Duckworth, who will be a preferred walk-on, joins Kaitlin Staines as part of the Lady Vols' 2018 class.
"I'm just really excited to be a part of a great program with a great foundation in its players and coaches," Duckworth said. "I can't wait to don orange for the next four years."
The Lady Vols wrapped up their fall season with the Tennessee Fall Invite at the end of October. The team will return to action on Jan. 20-21, when they hit the road to face Old Dominion and William & Mary to begin the spring season.
