SKILLMAN, N.J. (May 1) – Central Oklahoma's Antonella Rossini has been named the Division II Central Region Senior Player of the Year by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, it was announced Wednesday.

Rossini led the Bronchos to a 17-4 record and a berth in the NCAA Division II national tournament this season while playing No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles.
