GB Players in US Colleges
Permalink  

Can't seem to find a list anywhere, so maybe we should make one. Sam Murray is showing promising form post-graduating (ranked 36 in the ITA - College Governing Body - rankings), so these girls are definitely worth keeping an eye on. But it's hard to find them! I've found those below, feel free to add; also I don't really understand the system so any corrections welcome!

 

Jade Curtis (Auburn Montgomery) - playing in a lower division (?) - NAIA ranked 12.

Jennifer Rabot (Purdue) - has been ranked top 100?

Vicky Brook  (Yale)

Hannah James (Arizona State - currently ranked 120 - our highest) 

Sam Vickers (Tulsa)

Michelle Farley (Tulsa)

Hope Johnson (Wiliam & Mary)

Ruth Seaborne (Florida State) 

Amy Sargeant (Florida State)

Jo Henderson (Tennessee)

Olivia Smith (Miami)

Holly Fleming (Rollins)

Natasha Marks (U Arizona) 

Deborah Armstrong (Long Beach State - Hannah Grady is assistant coach here)

 

And that's all I could find by randomly googling possible names! It is a very bewildering system....

Thanks for doing this, it certainly answers a few "whatever happened to ..." questions. It might be worth someone asking Sarah Borwell (who posts on GBTG) for a full list - she must know if anyone does!

There are a few at Houston too I think, like Celia Fraser, Dionne Sanders and Bryony Hunter.

I checked out Jade Curtis' results a bit ago. Their team is strange, I think the team is like ranked 4 in the NAIA at the moment of something (at least in the polls) but they only have 5 players. For some of the season they've played with just 4 cause of injuries (Jade was injured for a bit)

It means that every match they play (6 singles 3 doubles) they have to default 2 of the matches. Seems a little bit of a handicap when it comes to winning stuff if you ask me. Jade only plays 2 in the team, so they are clearly pretty strong otherwise. Just looks like a funny way to run a team.

You're missing Laura Slater at North Carolina and Elisha Gabb at Lee College in Texas although that seems to be more of a UK style College rather than a University.
