It is the program's first-ever recruitment class ranking. The Broncos are one of two team's from the West Coast Conference ranked on the top-25 mid-major list, as the Waves of Pepperdine received top honors.
"I'm really proud of both our current team and the incoming recruiting class," said head coach Ben Cabell. "Receiving this ranking proves that our program is growing and moving in the right direction. It is a great time for Santa Clara women's tennis. We could have not signed such a talented class without the hard work and strength of our current student-athletes. I'm excited for next season to begin."
