Britteny Holiday, of Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas, has joined the MU Tiger Tennis team. Holiday, who is from San Antonio, Texas, helped Tyler JC win the last two national junior college team championships. She was also the national runner-up at No. 1 doubles and No. 3 singles at the JUCO National Championships last season.

"Britteny's been in place for a while, but we had to wait on some paperwork before being able to comment on her," MU coach Blake Starkey said. "She's a strong Texan, who is very solid in singles and doubles, and she'll be a great addition. Like all our players, she's a class act, and we're looking forward to having her with us."
