Head Coach Lele Forood says: "Courtney joins her brother Alex here at Stanford to begin her collegiate career. While she might look somewhat small in stature, she hits much bigger than her size, a talent she shares with a few teammates! Her backhand is already a great shot and with a concentration on smart serving and work on her forecourt game, Courtney will make a strong push in the singles lineup this season. She is a gritty competitor and her past success at national tournaments on the junior level will set the stage for continued success in the college game as well."
