Bryzgalova, from Moscow, Russia, had a 23-7 record this past season in the No. 1 spot, including a 14-4 mark in dual matches and a 4-1 record in Ivy League play. She finished the season as the 95th ranked player in the country, per the ITA.
Playing doubles, Bryzgalova and teammate Marija Curnic, also a 2022 graduate, had a 15-3 record in the No. 1 slot and a 4-0 mark against conference foes.
The women’s tennis team finished the season with a 15-9 record. The Quakers had an 8-1 mark at home and a 5-2 record in the Ivy League.
Wrapping up her noteworthy career, Bryzgalova was also a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy selection in singles competition and, with Curnic, a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy honoree in doubles competition.
During her sophomore year, she was named an ITA Division I Women’s All-American—the only Ivy League singles player to receive the recognition. She ranked as high as No. 10 in the nation, the highest singles ranking in school history.
