“Our entire UVA women’s tennis program welcomes Hunter Bleser, Camille Favero and Chloe Gullickson to the University of Virginia and into the team,” Guilbeau said. “We are very excited to have these three young ladies and their families joining us. We appreciate all of the efforts they have made in choosing UVA and in reaching such high academic and athletic standards throughout their high school and junior careers. We are also grateful to their parents and coaches for helping them with the multitude of steps it takes to reach the levels these three have.

We look forward to the process ahead and to working with this group and the team to continue a strong tradition of women’s tennis at UVA.”
