BOULDER – The University of Colorado has signed Marquette graduate transfer Fleur Eggink, head coach Danielle Steinberg announced this week.
"We are super excited to add Fleur to our program," said Steinberg. "Not only she's an exceptional player who had a great career at Marquette, she's also exactly the kind of student-athlete we are looking to add to our team. I've known Fleur since she was a junior and was always impressed with her high character and strong work ethic. With our team being so young it will be great to have Fleur's experience and leadership to help lead the program this year."
Eggink joins CU after competing for Marquette for four seasons. She was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection as a sophomore and junior with a combined record of 22-12 in singles. She also posted a pair of nine-win seasons in doubles that included going 9-1 in the final 10 matches with her partner her sophomore season.

In her final season at Marquette, Eggink was named the BIG EAST Female Athlete of the Week on January 28 and had eight singles win in dual matches in the shortened season.
A native of Netherlands, Eggink was the No.28-ranked player in doubles and No.55 in singles in the women's open rankings in her home country. She finished as a runner-up in the doubles field of the Dutch National Outdoor Championships in 2015.
