Emma Rizzetto joins the Huskers with three remaining years of eligibility after spending her freshman year as a Ram. In her first collegiate season, she was named A-10 Performer of the Week on two occasions and tallied 14 wins in singles and doubles.
“We are super excited to add Emma to our Husker Family,” Head Coach German Dalmagro said. “She had a great freshman year and I look forward to continuing her success here at Nebraska. She works very hard and loves to compete, and she’s passionate about tennis. That is something we strive to do each day with our team. She will fit in very well and I look forward to working with her.”
The Rams were frequently ranked in the 2023-24 season, reaching a season-high of 44. Rizzetto played singles on courts four, five and six, to earn a 14-6 singles record. She also played No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, tallying a 14-5 record. One of her doubles partners, Tiziana Rossini, is another recent Husker addition.
“I chose Nebraska because it has a strong tennis program, a healthy and an exciting environment,” Rizzetto said. “I think it’s the best place for my growth, not only as a tennis player but also as a person.”
