A number of honors and accolades have recently been dealt to the Notre Dame women's tennis program coming on the heels of a stellar showing at the NCAA Championships. The Irish doubles tandem of Kristy Frilling and Kali Krisik was named to the NCAA Championships All-Tournament team and the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced today that Frilling will be a part of its USTA Summer Collegiate Team, which is an elite training program for the top American collegiate tennis players.



Irish assistant coach Julia Scaringe has been tabbed as one of two coaches to steer the USTA Summer Collegiate Team on the women's end.



Krisik also earned an all-tournament distinction in the singles portion of the NCAAs.



Frilling and Krisik streaked through the doubles portion of the NCAA Championships as the No. 3 overall seed and earned a berth in the quarterfinals before falling to Georgia's Nadja Gilchrist and Chelsey Gullickson (6-2, 6-1). The Irish duo rounded out the season with a 34-3 record, including a flawless run during the dual season circuit with a 25-0 mark, with each win coming at the No. 1 position.



Frilling will continue her athletic development this summer within a national program that began in 1996 and is funded by the USTA. It is designed to provide college players with valuable exposure to the USTA Pro Circuit in a team-oriented environment during the summer months.
