STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford's Peter and Helen Bing Director of Women's Tennis Lele Forood announced the signing of highly-touted prep standout Valerie Glozman to a National Letter of Intent on Tuesday.

"Stanford has this irresistible allure that brings together everything I am looking for. The University's academic excellence is undeniable, but as a tennis player, joining a team that mirrors my dedication and passion for the sport was equally important. The opportunity to learn from brilliant minds, while also competing at an elite level, is an incredible chance for me to not only grow, but to excel. That's why Stanford feels like the ideal environment to nurture my aspirations."
