Скачать или смотреть Minnesota In-Focus: "Tennis & Beyond"

A native of Littleton, Colo., Mozia was a two-time state high school singles champion at Colorado Academy in Denver and a four-star tennis recruit. She compiled a dominant 86-5 record during her prep career and was a four-time team MVP.

Scholarship offers came her way, but Mozia came to Minnesota as a walk-on. Why?

“Minnesota was the first school that I visited,” Mozia said. “I loved the team. It felt like a family. When I took more official visits, I kept comparing them to Minnesota and nothing really compared. I just felt really comfortable and loved it there. I wanted a school that would challenge me academically and athletically."

A challenge is what Mozia got. Walk-ons in collegiate women’s tennis are more often than not depth players. They’re practice players. Injury fill-ins. Mozia turned out to be none of the above.
