BOULDER — Amy Duong, a five-star recruit from Fountain Valley, Calif., signed with the Colorado Buffaloes women's tennis team Wednesday, the initial signing date, and will enroll at CU for the spring 2027 semester, coach Anthony Pham announced.
Duong will join the Buffs in January and be eligible to compete this season. Colorado opens its dual match schedule Jan. 15 against Portland State in Boulder.
"We are very excited about having Amy join our Buff family this coming spring," CU coach Anthony Pham said. "Amy embodies the qualities we are looking for here at Colorado - she has strong morals, is an excellent student, and has a strong drive to push herself to be the best player she can be. She is a strong competitor and someone I think our fans will enjoy watching play."
The Tennis Recruiting Network rates Duong a five-star prospect, and she has been ranked as high as No. 54 in the class of 2027. She has also climbed as high as No. 117 nationally in the USTA girls' 16-and-under rankings and No. 218 in the 18-and-under rankings.
Tennis runs in the family. Duong is coached by her father, Tam, who played collegiately at Cooper Union, and her older brother, David, plays for the men's tennis team at BYU.
A student at Pacific Coast High School in Tustin, Calif., Duong carries a 4.0 GPA and ranks first in her class. She plans to major in finance at Colorado.
"I chose CU because of its strong academics, great tennis program and beautiful location," Duong said.
Duong becomes the ninth player on CU's 2026-27 roster and the second first-year player, joining Louise Ternstroem of Taby, Sweden.
