SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse tennis bolstered its lineup today with the signing of Zeynep Erman ahead of the 2020 spring season. A native of Istanbul, Turkey, Erman has played on three Turkish national team squads and comes highly ranked by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and University Tennis Rating (UTR).
Â
"We are very excited that Zeynep is joining the Syracuse family," head coach Younes Limam said. "Her junior career speaks for itself, but more importantly Zeynep has a strong work ethic on and off the court. She will be a great addition to the program."
Â
Erman has competed with Turkey's U12, U16, and U18 national teams in her career, has won 60 singles matches since 2016, and she won a trio of ITF Junior Tournaments in 2016. Erman has been ranked as high as No. 156 by the ITF, and she's reached a UTR of 11.4.
Â
Erman attended Okyanus College in Istanbul where she was a member of the four-time ISF World Schools Champion squads from 2016-19.
Â
Erman and the Orange kick off the spring season on Sunday, Jan. 19 when Syracuse travels to Richmond, Va., for two days of action against Richmond and VCU. Syracuse's home opener is Jan. 26 against Cornell. 'Cuse then stays put for its next eight matches, a home stretch that includes the Feb. 15 ACC opener against Boston College.
Â
Syracuse went 14-13 (5-9 ACC) last season and returns four veterans in seniors Miranda Ramirez and Guzal Yusupova, junior Sofya Golubovskaya, and sophomore Sofya Treshcheva. Freshmen Polina Kozyreva and Kim Hansen joined the squad in the fall.
