MANKATO, Minn. --- Minnesota State women's tennis coach Drew Hawthorne has announced the signings of two student-athletes for the fall signing period.

All signings are contingent upon admission to Minnesota State and compliance with NCAA rules, including certification by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

Hailing from Lakeville, Minn., Sophia Scheglowski has competed in both #1 singles and #1 doubles matches at Lakeville North High School. She is a five-time letterwinner and has earned three South Suburban All-Conference honors.

"I am really excited for Sophia becoming a Maverick," Hawthorne said. "Sophia has worked tremendously hard throughout high school and after. She will be a great representative for the state of Minnesota on our team. Her tennis game is ready for the college level, she will do excellently in the classroom, and most importantly, she is an amazing person."

Scheglowski is the daughter of Alex and Leeza Scheglowski and she intends to major in sports psychology.

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Boidehi Ukil has competed in multiple ITF, New Zealand Nationals and WTA tournaments while competing at St. Cuthbert's College. She won a pair of ITF doubles titles in 2025 and 2026, to go along with four New Zealand national team event championships.

"I am pleased to welcome Boidehi to the MavFam all the way from New Zealand," Hawthorne said. "I am confident Boidehi will fit in well with our team's culture, and I believe she will immediately make a great impact to our program's direction. I am looking forward to her joining the Mavericks next fall."

Ukil received the Tennis Auckland Most Valuable Player Award in 2024 and attained an ITF career high 1686 in October, 2026. She also finished runner up in the New Zealand Secondary School Cup Championship in 2025 and won the gold medal in both singles and doubles at the North Island Secondary School Champion of Champions tournament.
