WACO, Texas -- The Baylor women’s tennis team has added Texas Tech’s Cristina Tiglea to the roster for the 2024-25 season, it was announced by head coach Joey Scrivano on Tuesday.

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Cristina to the Baylor family!,” Scrivano said. “Her relentless drive, team-first mentality and exceptional character make her a perfect fit for our program. Cristina's incredible achievements and unwavering dedication on and off the court are truly inspiring. We can't wait to see the energy and talent she brings to our team and how she will elevate our program to new heights. Welcome to Baylor, Cristina!"

She is a first-team All-Big 12 selection in singles and was the position champion at No. 2 doubles in 2024. A two-time Big 12 Player of the Week in 2024, Tiglea has been a two-time doubles finalist in the ITA Texas Regionals and appeared in the Sweet 16 at the ITA Fall Nationals in doubles.
