BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh women's tennis head coach Sophia Geier has announced the signings of two student-athletes to the class of 2029. Lena Dogadalski and Alice Ann Pantsari will join the Mountain Hawks this fall.
"I'm excited to welcome Lena and Alice Ann to the Mountain Hawk family," said Geier. "They are talented student-athletes who bring strong tennis foundations and a passion for competing at the collegiate level. I'm eager to get to know them better and look forward to their contributions both on and off the court as they grow within our program."
Dogadalski joins the program from Libertyville, Illinois and Libertyville High School, the same alma mater as teammate Maggie Forkner. On the court, Dogadalski took home third in the state tournament as a senior, earned all-state and all-conference honors and was team MVP as a sophomore and senior. In the classroom, Dogadalski was a National Merit finalist, was on the honor roll all four years, was on the NHS board in high school and was an AP Scholar with Distinction.
"I chose to attend Lehigh because of the great team atmosphere and the opportunity to pursue the IBE program," said Dogadalski.
Pantsari heads to Bethlehem from Santa Rosa Beach, Florida where she was an accomplished athlete and student. Across five tournaments in 2023-24, Pantsari was a finalist three times and placed third at the Girls 18s Open DVDM Championships. In the classroom, Pantsari had a 4.5 weighted GPA, earned a 2024 AP Scholar Award and was a recipient of the 2025 AP Scholar with Distinction Award.
"I want to become the best version of myself that I can be academically, athletically and as a person," said Pantsari. "For me, Lehigh felt like the institution that would best help me accomplish my goals. I'm really looking forward to attending this coming year."
Dogadalski and Pantsari are set to join the Lehigh women's tennis program ahead of the fall 2025 semester.
