When Gabriella Sadowski (WTN: 18.8) was younger, her dad would pay older players to hit with her so she could improve. Some of the hitting partners were already in college, and would tell Sadowski about their experiences of being on a team.
“I really looked up to them, and I was like, ‘Wow, playing in college looks really cool. I really want to be able to do the same one day,” Sadowski said. “I'm pretty grateful now that I have the opportunity to play college tennis.”

Sadowski, a give-star junior from Macomb, Michigan, has committed to Purdue University. She began emailing Purdue head coach Laura Glitz before Glitz was allowed by NCAA rules to respond. Once Sadowski was of recruitable age, Glitz sent her a text message. They eventually started talking by phone and Glitz came to several matches to watch her play.
“But what really stood out about Purdue was I really connected well with Coach Glitz and the girls on the team,” Sadowski said. “I also really love the fact that they have a great veterinary medicine school, which is what I love to study. It's definitely a school that I could really see myself succeeding after I graduate.”
