MALIBU, California – The Pepperdine women's tennis team announced the signing of 2020 and 2021 ITA All-American
Victoria Flores, a Georgia Tech graduate transfer, on Tuesday.
Flores burst onto the scene as a junior in 2019-20, earning ITA Doubles All-American honors and leading the Jackets with a 20-7 overall singles record, including a 12-5 record in dual singles play, before the COVID-19 pandemic ended her season. During that season, she was ranked as high as number six nationally in ITA doubles rankings while coming in at number 41 in singles.
In her last season in Atlanta, Flores earned ITA All-American honors in singles and doubles while receiving two prestigious ITA awards: the ITA Southeast Regional Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship award and the ITA Ann Lebedeff Leadership award. Flores earned at-large berths to both the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships after being named All-ACC second team.
"We are very excited to have Vicky join us," said assistant coach
Pete Billingham. "Vicky is a great talent with top-level experience. She will have a major impact on our team."
Flores will join fellow newcomers
Janice Tjen and
Savannah Broadus in Malibu this fall.
The Waves ended the 2021 season as the NCAA runner-up, falling to Texas 4-3 in the national championship. They finished with a 25-4 record.
