| Lilia Osterloh attended Stanford for one year, in 1996-97, starting as a freshman at the team’s No. 3 singles position before eventually moving up to the No. 1 slot. The Columbus, Ohio, native compiled a 30-3 overall singles record and captured the 1997 Division I NCAA Women’s Tennis Championship in singles and helped lead the Cardinal to the NCAA team title with a 5-1 victory over Florida. She was named an All-American in both singles and doubles and was Tennis magazine’s/Rolex College Player of the Year for 1997. After winning the NCAA championship, she earned a berth in the 1997 U.S. Open and decided to leave Stanford to purse a professional career. Osterloh reached her highest individual ranking on the WTA Tour in April of 2001, when she was ranked 41st in the world. | |||||||||||
