Nothing Finer than Carolina for Fanny

After taking home NJCAA Freshman of the Year in her
first season in Liberal and leading her team back to the NJCAA National
Tournament again in her sophomore campaign, Seward County Lady Saints
tennis player Fanny Benincasa has signed her letter of intent for next
year and she will be headed to Durham, North Carolina to play for the
Eagles of North Carolina Central University. Benincasa will play for
the Division 1 Eagles who compete in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference
starting in the fall of 2011 after NC Central put together an 11-12
record this spring. Benincasa was 7-5 in the fall for Seward County and
teamed with Dariya Dashutina for a 7-4 mark in doubles play. This
spring she has gone 6-3 including a 2nd place finish in the Region VI
Tournament and has put up a matching 6-3 record in #1 doubles play with
Dashutina where the pair also finshed as Region VI runners-up. Her interview

airs Thursday morning during the Sportsguys on Talkradio 1270.
