Coach Burgess on Auerswald: "I watched Kim at a virtual showcase and saw everything in her a good college tennis player needs to be. She was solid. Solid in her play, solid in her decision-making and solid in her temperament. I expect she will have the same positive impact on the program as the Bavarian players we have had in the past."
