The Massachusetts tennis team looks to improve upon its 2006-2007 record of 13-9 with four new arrivals for the 2007-2007 campaign.

Candynce Boney (Las Vegas, Nev.) comes in as the 75th-ranked freshman recruit in Division I. After being named Rookie of the Year in high school in 2003, she continued to excel throughout the rest of her year career in Nevada, winning team MVP the next three years. She also belongs to the Andre Agassi Boys and Girls Club, and was awarded the Team Agassi Coach Award in 2006.

Kaitlyn Carpenter (Alburis, Penn.) played in the Middle States Section and went on to win District AA singles. Carpenter also came in at third for doubles in Pennsylvania.

Jenna Goldfine (Newton, Mass.) was named to the Boston Globe All-Scholastic Tennis Team in 2004 and 2005, and has also won a Gold Medal at the USTA Zonal Team Championship.

The Minutewomen's final recruit, Tanisha Hodgson, will come to Amherst as the No. 1 ranked player in Aruba. She is ranked #760 in the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
