VERMILLION, S.D. – South Dakota women's tennis coach Brett Barnett is pleased to announce that Sydney Weinberg will be joining the Coyotes roster in the fall as part of the 2022 recruiting class.
 
Weinberg, who hails from Winchester, Mass., will enroll at South Dakota in the fall as graduate transfer from Penn State University and will have two years of athletic eligibility remaining.
 
"I am really excited to announce the signing of Sydney," said Barnett. "It was clear right away when we started speaking that she was a player that I wanted in our program and that our goals aligned.
 
"It's huge when we can get a player from a Big 10 school to transfer in and help us raise our level even more."
 
Weinberg, who was a four-star recruit out of high school and ranked in the top 125 nationally, played two seasons at Penn State. She earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in her career while reaching the round of 32 at the ITA Regionals as a freshman.
 
She was consistently ranked in the top five in the New England Section during her junior career where she was a member of the 2017 New England National Team.
 
"Syd is a very driven player that I know is working as hard as possible this year to prepare herself for the transition to USD in the fall," added Barnett. "She's extremely fit and has a ton of variety in her game.  She's not afraid to play multiple game styles and has options on court to make her successful. 
 
"She has two years of eligibility left and is ready to make an impact daily on court and with our team culture. Her best tennis is ahead of her and I cannot wait to start working with her daily to help her be the best player she can be."
