MEN’S TEAM:
Murphy Cassone, Arizona State (Overland Park, Kan.)
Stefan Dostanic, USC (Irvine, Calif.)
Cannon Kingsley, Ohio State (Northport, N.Y.)
Sam Riffice, Florida (Orlando, Fla.)
Ben Shelton, Florida (Gainesville, Fla.)

Sarah Hamner, South Carolina (Boca Raton, Fla.)

The players were selected based on a number of criteria, including rankings, individual collegiate tournament results or ITA honors. Players on the team are eligible to receive a grant to travel to USTA Pro Circuit events and coaching support during the summer.
USC assistant coach Rich Bonfiglio and Louisville assistant coach Mario Rincon will accompany the men’s team while Vanderbilt assistant coach Hayley Carter will accompany the women’s team. The three coaches will also provide assistance to any American collegians playing at tournaments throughout the summer.
