“I am thrilled to have Lauren Hambrock join us next fall,” said Porter. “I expect she will make an immediate impact on my team and the Great Lakes Valley Conference.”
Hambrock has excelled in both tennis and basketball garnering All-State honors in both at Terre Haute South Vigo High School. While receiving an All-State nod the past two seasons, Hambrock made an appearance in the 2014 IHSAA State Tennis Finals, then finished her junior year with a 21-2 record at number one singles to move her career record to 52-12. Hambrock, also, has been named All-Conference each of her three seasons at Terre Haute South.
“Lauren has an aggressive style of play with a calm, mature disposition on court,” Porter said. “Her winning traditions in both high school tennis and basketball, plus a tough Midwest Tennis tournament schedule, will prepare Lauren for college competition. Â It will be exciting adding her talent to the fun, energetic atmosphere my team has created.”
On the amateur tour, Hambrock has won USTA events in four different states that resulted in a number six ranking in the state of Indiana. In the classroom, Hambrock was awarded the 2015 McMillan Award at Terre Haute South and is in the top five percent of her class.
The Eagles resume their 2015-16 schedule this spring.
