Lacey Cohen, a rising senior at Fox Chapel, has made a verbal commitment to play tennis at the University of Hartford.
“I had been considering a few other colleges, some D-I and some D-II and D-III,” she said. “I was also looking at a few schools down south. After I visited Hartford, I realized that everything there was what I was looking for. My priorities were academics, the tennis team and the coaches. I felt that I didn’t have to look any further.”
Last year, the Division I Hartford Hawks went 7-15 and will return everyone to the team in 2015. Three seniors will graduate in 2016 and Cohen believes she can be an immediate impact.
