BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's tennis team has signed hometown star Maya Shanok.
Shanok will join the Owls after a standout career at Boca Raton's Spanish River High School. While holding a 4.0 unweighted GPA as a homeschool student, Shanok chose to represent Spanish River, where she was a part of the 2021 FHSA State Championship team and helped the Sharks to a 2022 FSHA Final Four appearance. Shanok finished her high school career undefeated in singles play and was a two-time Palm Beach County honoree.
She is expected to join fellow south Florida native Amber McGinnis on the squad that returns everyone from the 2022 Conference USA quarterfinals, including first team All-Conference honorees Martina Kudelova and Katerina Filip as well as All-Freshman team member Lexi Silna.
"I am excited to bring Maya on board. I have been tracking her progress for a very long time. She is certainly taking steps in the right direction. Most importantly, her character is what impresses me the most. She will blend in perfectly with our girls and our team culture."
