An outstanding recruiter with unrivaled knowledge of the game and passion for teaching, the 2023-24 season marks the 27th illustrious year for Paige Yaroshuk-Tews with the University of Miami women’s tennis team, including her 23rd as head coach.
The program’s all-time winningest coach, Yaroshuk-Tews has turned the Hurricanes into a force nationally, leading Miami to the NCAA’s Elite Eight in eight of the last 19 tournaments, the seventh-most quarterfinal appearances in the nation during that span. The Hurricanes have also made the Sweet 16 on 14 occasions during that stretch, one of eight programs to do so.
In her 22 years at Miami, Yaroshuk-Tews boasts an overall record of 412-146 (.738) and an ACC career record of 174-51 (.773). She is one of just five individuals all-time with 350 victories as an ACC head coach, ranking fourth with 361. As a result of her unparalleled achievements, Yaroshuk-Tews was inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame & Museum in 2012.
Yaroshuk-Tews’ desire to make Miami a national title contender on a yearly basis has helped the program consistently flourish with all-conference and All-American talent. The Hurricanes have not only made the NCAA Team Championship in each of her years as head coach–excluding 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the postseason–but have also won at least one NCAA match every season. Miami qualified for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships 12 straight years, from 2005-16, and was ranked in the top 10 at some point during the season in each of those campaigns, as well as during the most recent 2022 and 2023 seasons. Yaroshuk-Tews annually brings in some of the top prep talent, reloading year in and year out for a program consistently ranked among the nation’s best.
Since taking the head coaching position for the women’s tennis program at Miami in 2001, Yaroshuk-Tews has led the Hurricanes on an unprecedented run in Coral Gables, Fla. In total, she has directed Miami to 14 Sweet 16 berths, eight Elite Eight trips and an appearance in the 2006 NCAA final, the program’s first since 1985.
Miami has hosted the first and second rounds of the NCAA Team Championship 15 times under Yaroshuk-Tews, including 12 straight years each from 2005-2016. The Hurricanes have turned in 20 straight ITA top-25 finishes, including 14 in the top 15. In nine of the last 17 completed seasons, Miami has ended the year in the top 10.
Individually, Yaroshuk-Tews has guided two players to NCAA Singles Championship crowns, as Audra Cohen won the hardware in 2007 and Estela Perez-Somarriba did so in 2019. Miami is one of just three schools with multiple NCAA singles titles in the past 16 tournaments, alongside Stanford and Virginia. Six Hurricanes have combined for nine semifinals berths during that stretch, with both totals the highest marks of any program since 2007. Three players have also combined for four finals appearances in that span, both second-most of any school.
Yaroshuk-Tews also helped a Miami duo reach in the 2022 NCAA Doubles Championship, a first for The U since 1988. It marked the third consecutive tournament the Hurricanes made the finals in either the singles or doubles event, as well as the sixth time in seven years Miami made the semifinals in either field.
Nineteen different Hurricanes have garnered a total of 38 ITA All-American honors under Yaroshuk-Tews, both program records for a coach. In 19 of her 22 seasons, at least one Hurricane has been named an All-American, with multiple players receiving the honor in 11 of them. Under Yaroshuk-Tews’ watch, 20 Hurricanes have combined for 43 All-ACC distinctions and 32 Miami players have totaled 61 Academic All-ACC recognitions. In addition, four Hurricanes have totaled six ACC Player of the Year plaudits and four have combined for six ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Five Miami players have also compiled six total CoSIDA/CSC Academic All-America distinctions.
Most recently, in 2023, the Hurricanes went 16-8 (9-4 ACC), made the NCAA Team Championship Round of 32 and finished No. 16 in the ITA rankings. Miami knocked off six top-25 teams, including two top-10 foes, one of which, NC State, reached the NCAA final. Yaroshuk-Tews helped Alexa Noel to a 34-8 singles mark, good for the seventh-most wins in the country. She finishing sixth overall, receiving ITA All-America and First Team All-ACC status in singles, as well as garnered the fifth seed in the NCAA Singles Championship. In addition, Noel competed in the NCAA Doubles Championship with Isabella Pfennig, as the pair earned Third Team All-ACC recognition and capped the season ranked No. 36, one of three Miami tandems in the top 50. Pfennig, a Third Team All-ACC honoree, placed No. 70 in singles and claimed CSC First Team Academic All-America plaudits. Daevenia Achong, who ended the year at No. 82 in doubles and finished her Miami career top-15 in combined singles/doubles victories with 174, was a CSC Second Team Academic All-American, making Miami one of two schools with multiple selections. During the season, Yaroshuk-Tews surpassed 400 career wins and moved from sixth to fourth on the ACC’s all-time victories list with 361.
Miami registered a 19-6 (10-3 ACC) ledger in 2022, advancing to the NCAA Team Championship Sweet 16 and finishing ninth in the country. It marked the team’s best year-end ranking since placing eighth in 2013. The Hurricanes took down six top-25 teams, including five in the top 20, and reached the ACC Championship semifinals for the sixth time in a row. Daevenia Achong and Eden Richardson made it all the way to the NCAA Doubles Championship title match, the third pair to do so in program history, on the way to finishing sixth in the ITA rankings, claiming ITA All-America status and making the ITA Collegiate All-Star Team. Both players were First Team All-ACC honorees, played in the NCAA Singles Championship and finished top-50 nationally in singles, while Isabella Pfennig received Third Team All-ACC plaudits and took the No. 88 spot in the final rankings. Achong won both the ITA Southeast Region Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership & Sportsmanship and the ITA Southeast Region Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award, while Alex Santos received ITA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year distinction. A program record six Hurricanes made the All-ACC Academic Team, as well.
The Hurricanes posted a 15-9 (8-5 ACC) mark in 2021, reaching the second round of the NCAA Team Championship and finishing No. 20 nationally. Miami earned two top-10 wins, knocking off eighth-ranked Virginia at home and sixth-ranked Florida State in the ACC Championship to reach the semifinals for the fifth consecutive time. Estela Perez-Somarriba logged a 24-3 singles mark on her way to reaching the NCAA Singles Championship title match for the second straight time and claiming ITA National Player of the Year honors as the country’s top-ranked player. She finished her illustrious career at 165-26, good for the second-most wins in ACC history, and also earned ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, ITA Senior Player of the Year and ITA Southeast Region Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award. She and Isabella Pfennig, who ended the year ranked No. 26 nationally, both garnered ITA All-America and All-ACC status, with the latter winning ITA Southeast Region Rookie of the Year. Two Hurricane duos competed in the NCAA Doubles Championship, each finishing top-30 nationally.
Miami notched a 6-4 (3-2 ACC) record during the 2020 campaign. The team did not play past February, as the season ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All four of the Hurricanes’ setbacks were against top-20 teams, including two in the top five, and the team also notched a top-20 road win. Estela Perez-Somarriba broke the program’s career singles wins record, becoming Yaroshuk-Tews’ fourth pupil to top the charts. The Madrid native, who won ITA Southeast Region Senior Player of the Year and ITA Southeast Region Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship & Leadership Award plaudits, also peaked at first nationally and held the second position when play ended. No ACC postseason accolades were awarded due to the pandemic, but Perez-Somarriba did win her fourth ITA All-America distinction.
The Hurricanes logged a 19-8 ledger in 2019, finishing 9-5 in ACC action and falling one point shy of the NCAA Sweet 16. Miami posted five top-25 wins, including defeating ninth-ranked NC State, 4-2, to reach the ACC Championship semifinals for the sixth time in seven years and fourth in a row. Yaroshuk-Tews guided her team to the No. 20 spot in the final ITA rankings, the 15th top-20 finish in a 16-year period. Estela Perez-Somarriba won the NCAA Singles Championship title and went 43-5, claiming ACC Player of the Year, ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, ITA All-America and ITA Southeast Region Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship & Leadership Award honors, while ending the season ranked second nationally. Freshman Daevenia Achong earned Second Team All-ACC accolades, as well as joined Perez-Somarriba and three other Hurricanes on the All-ACC Academic Team.
Miami posted an 18-8 mark in 2018, including an 11-3 record in ACC play. After a one-year hiatus, the Hurricanes again hosted the opening two rounds of the NCAA Team Championship and advanced to the Sweet 16. Yaroshuk-Tews’ team ended the season ranked No. 17 nationally, good for a 14th top-20 finish in a 15-year span. Estela Perez-Somarriba was named the ACC Player of the Year and the ITA National Player to Watch, finishing with ITA All-America accolades, First Team All-ACC distinction, a 39-8 record and the fifth spot in the final ITA rankings. Sinead Lohan, who finished her career with the fourth-most singles wins in school history (130), became Miami’s third four-time All-ACC honoree and won the ITA Southeast Region Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship & Leadership Award.
Despite dealing with significant injuries throughout the 2017 campaign, Yaroshuk-Tews oversaw the team’s 22nd consecutive NCAA Team Championship berth and 21st winning season in a row. The Hurricanes finished 13-12, concluded the campaign ranked No. 25 nationally and reached the second round of NCAA play. Miami had two First Team All-ACC honorees for the second straight year, as Sinead Lohan and Estela Perez-Somarriba both garnered the recognition. Perez-Somarriba, an ITA All-American, became the first Hurricane freshman to reach the NCAA Singles Championship Final Four, giving Miami a semifinalist for the third season in a row.
Yaroshuk-Tews, en route to ITA Southeast Region Coach of the Year distinction, guided Miami to a 21-6 record in 2016, the team’s 11th 20-win season in a 13-year span. The Hurricanes went 12-2 in the ACC for the third year in a row, finishing in second place, and reached the ACC Championship final for the sixth time in 12 seasons in the ACC. Miami advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 11th year in a row and ended the campaign ranked No. 10 in the nation, its 13th straight top-15 finish and eighth top-10 finish in the last 11 years. Sinead Lohan, Stephanie Wagner and Wendy Zhang combined for a total of four ITA All-American distinctions. Wagner, the ITA Southeast Region Senior Player of the Year, broke the program’s career wins record, finishing with 134. The All-American trio combined for six ACC Player of the Week honors, with Wagner winning four, the most by anyone since 2012, to conclude her career with eight. Lohan went 40-6 in singles, tied for the third-most wins in a season by a Miami player, and became the seventh different Hurricane to reach the NCAA Singles Championship Final Four, including the sixth under Yaroshuk-Tews.
The Hurricanes went 18-7 in 2015 and finished second in the ACC at 12-2. Miami reached the Sweet 16 for the 10th year in a row and earned a 12th consecutive top-15 finish. The team also finished in the top four of the ACC for the 11th straight year, each one since it joined the conference. On an individual level, Yaroshuk-Tews guided both Sinead Lohan and Stephanie Wagner to ITA All-American honors. Both of them reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Singles Championship, marking the third time ever–all under the direction of Yarosuk-Tews–two Hurricanes did so the same year. Wagner was also named the ITA National Player to Watch. UM set a program record with five nationally-ranked singles players in the year-end rankings and tied the top mark set the previous season with six different players ranked in either singles or doubles.
In 2014, Miami posted its sixth consecutive 20-win season and 10th in the last 11 years, finishing at 21-6, with a 12-2 mark in the ACC to tie for first place. The Hurricanes hosted the NCAA Team Championship first and second rounds for the 10th consecutive year and reached the NCAA round of 16 for the ninth straight time. Additionally, UM made the ITA National Team Indoor Championships for the 10th season in a row. Miami ended the year at No. 12 in the nation and two Hurricanes, Monique Albuquerque and Clementina Riobueno, earned ITA All-American recognition. Six different Hurricanes ended the season ranked in either singles or doubles, a new program record.
The 2013 season saw Miami win its first ACC Championship title, as the Hurricanes knocked off a trio of top-30 teams in Cary, N.C., including second-ranked North Carolina in the semifinals. Miami went on to finish 23-6, marking the most wins for the program since 2009 and the third-most during Yaroshuk-Tews’ tenure. The season also marked the fifth consecutive trip to the Elite Eight for the Hurricanes, then the longest streak in the country. UM concluded the year ranked eighth, its fifth straight top-10 finish, and Yaroshuk-Tews was named the ITA Southeast Region Coach of the Year, while her assistant coach, Alex Santos, was chosen as the ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year.
During the 2012 season, the Hurricanes advanced to their fourth consecutive NCAA Team Championship Elite Eight, before falling to eventual national champion Florida. Miami played host to North Florida and Utah in the first two rounds of the tournament, winning both matches, 4-0. In the Sweet 16, the Hurricanes exacted revenge on ACC foe North Carolina, winning 4-2 to erase the memory of a 4-3 loss to the Tar Heels in the regular season. Miami wound up ninth in the final national rankings, and Anna Bartenstein was named an ITA All-American, making it nine straight seasons Yaroshuk-Tews coached a player who received the honor.
In 2011, Yaroshuk-Tews led Miami on another deep run in the NCAA Team Championship, winning at home in the first two rounds before taking down Michigan in the round of 16 in Stanford, Calif. The Hurricanes finished the season ranked seventh nationally. Also in 2011, senior Bianca Eichkorn became the program’s all-time winningest singles player (133 victories) en route to numerous All-America and all-conference honors. Among them, Eichkorn became the fourth UM player in the last seven seasons to be named ACC Player of the Year under Yaroshuk-Tews, who surpassed 200 career wins with Miami’s NCAA-opening 4-0 victory May 13 against FIU. Anna Bartenstein was also named an ITA All-American in 2011, making it four straight years the Hurricanes had at least two players garner the accolade.
In 2010, Yaroshuk-Tews led the Hurricanes to the NCAA quarterfinals, a No. 10 final ranking and a 20-6 record, UM’s sixth 20-win season in the last seven years. Miami also posted a 10-1 mark in ACC play to finish in second place. For the second straight year–the first time that happened since 1985-86–three Hurricanes earned ITA All-America honors, this time Bianca Eichkorn, Gabriela Mejia and Laura Vallverdu, who also won the Honda Sports Award. Vallverdu was an All-American in singles and doubles, giving Miami four All-America honors for the first time since 1988. Additionally, Vallverdu set the program record for singles wins (131) and became the fourth four-year All-American in program history and the first under Yaroshuk-Tews. Eichkorn and Vallverdu both reached the NCAA Singles Championship quarterfinals, the second straight year two Hurricanes did so after it had not previously happened in program history. Vallverdu made the semifinals, to become the program’s first two-time semifinalist.
During the 2009 season, Yaroshuk-Tews claimed the ACC Coach of the Year award after leading UM to a 26-5 mark, its second-best record ever during the NCAA era (1982-present). The Hurricanes went 16-0 at home, captured the ACC regular season title at 10-1 and registered 12 consecutive victories leading into the ACC Championship final. Yaroshuk-Tews saw her team advance to the NCAA quarterfinals and concluded the season seventh in the country, its second best finish of the last 32 years. For the first time since 1988, three UM players were named ITA All-Americans, in Bianca Eichkorn, Julia Cohen and Laura Vallverdu. All three reached the NCAA Singles Championship round of 16, a first in school history. Cohen and Eichkorn became the first Hurricane duo to make the semifinals the same year, and Vallverdu finished as the second finalist in program history. In total, four Hurricanes played in the NCAA Singles Championship, marking the first time that happened, and four Miami duos were listed in the final ITA doubles rankings for the first time ever.
In 2008, Miami finished with a 17-6 overall mark, snapping a string of four consecutive 20-win seasons. The Hurricanes faced 18 ranked opponents and went 12-6 against them. UM hosted the first two rounds of the NCAA Team Championship for the fourth straight year and reached a third consecutive Sweet 16. The Hurricanes’ 6-1 win over No. 45 NC State April 12 gave Yaroshuk-Tews her 132nd victory to pass legendary Miami coach Ivan Duvenhage (1982-88) for the program record. Miami ended the season at No. 14 in the nation and Laura Vallverdu was named an ITA All-American.
During the 2007 season, Yaroshuk-Tews led the Hurricanes to a 22-7 mark, the team’s fourth straight 20-win season and to the NCAA quarterfinals for the second straight season. Miami went 17-1 at home, with the lone loss against eventual NCAA champion Georgia Tech. The Hurricanes finished the season ranked ninth in the nation, their second straight top-10 finish. Audra Cohen and Laura Vallverdu were both named ITA All-Americans, making it three straight years UM had multiple honorees for the first time since 1986-88. Cohen went 42-2 in singles, became the first player in program history win the national title in the NCAA Singles Championship and was also the first to win the Honda Sports Award. She also won her second consecutive ITA National Player of the Year Award and ACC Player of the Year award, making it three straight years a Hurricane earned both accolades. It marked just the second time ever a school had three straight ITA National Player of the Year winners on the women’s side, and Cohen was fifth women to win the award in back-to-back years. Cohen ended the season at No. 1 in the nation for the second year in a row, marking the third straight time a UM player finished first, and she was selected to the ITA All-Star Team as well. Three Hurricanes made the NCAA Singles Championship for the third time ever, and first since 1985. Yaroshuk-Tews reached 100 wins with a 6-1 win over eighth-ranked Baylor Feb. 3, becoming the third coach in program history to get to triple digits. Her assistant coach, David Anderton, garnered the ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year award for his work with the team.
The 2006 campaign was a special one for the Miami program, as the Hurricanes advanced to the final of the NCAA Team Championship for the first time since 1985 and the second time ever. UM upset second-ranked Notre Dame in the quarterfinals and third-ranked USC in the semifinals. The impressive run came to an end in the championship match against two-time defending champion and top-seeded Stanford. The Hurricanes finished the season at 24-7 and shared the ACC regular season title for the second straight year. Yaroshuk-Tews’ squad came up with big wins against some of the nation’s best teams, going 5-3 against top-10 teams, including a 4-2 mark against opponents ranked in the top three. The Hurricanes finished the season ranked fourth in the country, their first top-five finish since 1987 and the fourth-best record in program history during the NCAA era (1982-present).
The same year, Melissa Applebaum and Audra Cohen were both named ITA All-Americans, making it back-to-back years the Hurricanes had a pair of honorees for the first time since the 1987-88 season. Cohen went 34-2 in singles and finished the season ranked No. 1 in the nation, the second straight year a Hurricane took the top spot. She was named the ITA National Player of the Year and ACC Player of the Year, making it back-to-back years a Hurricane won both awards, and she was nominated for the Honda Sports Award. Cohen and Applebaum ended the year ranked second nationally in doubles and made the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship. Both of them were named to the ITA All-Star Team. Additionally, four Hurricanes made the year-end ITA rankings for the first time in 30 years.
The team flourished in 2005 under Yaroshuk-Tews, earning a 21-5 overall record, marking its second consecutive 20-win season. Miami went 9-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play in its inaugural season in the league to tie for first place and also reached the ACC Championship final. The Hurricanes made the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championships and upset fourth-ranked UCLA, 4-3. UM earned an automatic bid to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Team Championship and fell to California in the second round to snap a 27-match home winning streak. The Hurricanes finished at No. 13 in the nation and both Audrey Bañada and Megan Bradley were named ITA All-Americans, the first time Miami had multiple players earn the honor since 1992. The pair also reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship, the first Miami duo to do so since 1992. Bradley set a program record for singles wins with 44, finishing at 44-2 and winning 39 straight matches along the way. She won the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships title, finished the season ranked first in the nation, made the ITA All-Star Team, and won ACC/UM Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and ITA National Senior Player of the Year. Additionally, Bradley was the first Hurricane to win ITA National Player of the Year and the first to receive the ACC Player of the Year award. Her ITA national awards were the first by a Hurricane since 1991.
In 2004, Yaroshuk-Tews led her team to yet another successful season and earned her second BIG EAST Coach of the Year award. The Hurricanes finished with a 20-4 overall record and were ranked 15th in the final poll, the team’s highest ranking since 1991. Miami made the BIG EAST Championship final for the 13th straight year–every one it participated in as a conference member–and won its eighth title. Half the titles and seven of the finals appearances came with Yaroshuk-Tews on the coaching staff. The Hurricanes were part of one of the biggest upsets in collegiate tennis history in 2004. They beat previously undefeated and top-ranked ranked Florida, 4-3, in the second round of the NCAA Team Championship in Gainesville, Fla. Miami had not defeated the Gators since the 1986 season. The Hurricanes advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999 and defeated No. 11 Tulane, 4-1, to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since the 1986. Megan Bradley was named an ITA All-American, the first Hurricane to garner the honor since 1999, which was also the last time Miami won 20-plus matches. After the season, Yaroshuk-Tews was tabbed to coach the prestigious USA Tennis Collegiate Team.
During the 2003 season, Yaroshuk-Tews led her team to a 17-7 record and an eighth consecutive trip to the NCAA Team Championship. Her squad advanced to the second round of the tournament and finished the season ranked 23rd in the country, marking the program’s first top-25 finish since 1999. The Hurricanes had two players–Melissa Applebaum and Megan Bradley–in the NCAA Singles Championship for the first time since 1992, and placed a pair–Applebaum and Bradley–in the NCAA Doubles Championship for the first time since 1997, both ending the longest droughts in program history.
In 2002, her first season as head coach, Yaroshuk-Tews guided the Hurricanes to their seventh BIG EAST Championship title and she was named BIG EAST Coach of the Year. The team finished with a 14-7 record and reached the second round of the NCAA Team Championship for the first time in three years. Half of Miami’s wins came against ranked opponents that season and the Hurricanes had a player, Mari Toro, finish the season nationally ranked for the first time since 1999.
Yaroshuk-Tews spent the 1998 and 1999 seasons as the assistant coach at Miami before being promoted to associate head coach for the 2000 and 2001 seasons. During that stretch, the Hurricanes won the BIG EAST Championship in both 1998 and 2000. In Yaroshuk-Tews’ opening year on staff, UM had its first All-American–Lioudmila Skavronskaia–in three years, quickly ending the program’s first two-year drought without one since its first two years of existence (1973-74).
Prior to joining the Miami staff, Yaroshuk-Tews worked at the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Player Development Headquarters in Key Biscayne, Fla., as a traveling coach with the top U.S. junior players. Before her USTA appointment, Yaroshuk-Tews played professionally in satellite and challenger events. A Miami native and Killian High School graduate, Yaroshuk-Tews stood out among Florida juniors. In the Girl’s 18 Division, she held the No. 1 ranking in Florida and the No. 8 spot nationally.
Yaroshuk-Tews went on to star at UCLA, where she was a four-year letter winner and two-time ITA All-American. The Bruins made the NCAA Team Championship and finished in the top 15 all four of her seasons on the team, including a trio of top-10 finishes. She made an immediate impact as a freshman in 1993, playing No. 5 singles and No. 2 doubles for UCLA, who finished No. 13 in the nation. Her junior year, in 1995, Yaroshuk-Tews played No. 3 singles and No. 3 doubles for the Bruins, who concluded the year sixth in the country after reaching the Elite Eight. Individually, Yaroshuk-Tews made the NCAA Singles Championship and finished ranked No. 78 nationally.
As a senior in 1996, Yaroshuk-Tews played No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles for the Bruins, who made the Final Four and ended the season ranked fourth. Yaroshuk-Tews won the PAC-10 Indoor and Outdoor Doubles Championships with partner Keri Phebus and achieved ITA All-America and All-PAC-10 honors in both singles and doubles. The Bruins’ top tandem was ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation during the 1996 season and finished No. 3, while Yaroshuk-Tews achieved a singles ranking as high as No. 13 and closed at No. 21. She made the round of 16 of the NCAA Singles Championship and the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship.

She was also appointed to the Rolex/ITA Collegiate All-Star Team.
Yaroshuk-Tews graduated from UCLA in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, while earning PAC-10 academic honors. She began UM’s graduate studies program in elementary education during the spring of 1999.
Yaroshuk-Tews is the daughter of Ernie and Carol Yaroshuk. Her father was a member of the University of Miami baseball team from 1961-63, and was inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame in 1992. He holds the third-highest batting average (.448) in the program’s single-season history. Yaroshuk-Tews and her father form the only father-daughter duo in the UMSHoF.
