The Valparaiso University tennis program and head coach Bob Modesto has announced the addition of Madi Rogers (Clearwater, Fla. / Florida Virtual [Bradley]), who will join the program as a senior transfer for the 2025-26 season.
Rogers, who was part of the Missouri Valley Conference Doubles Team of the Week on April 16 of this season, had the third-best record in Flight 1 Doubles in the MVC while playing for the Braves this year. She has earned ITA Scholar-Athlete honors on three occasions and won the Illinois State Redbird Invitational Flight 4 Doubles Championship.
“Madi Rogers comes highly recommended from Coach Tyler from Bradley University,” Modesto said. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Tyler. We are looking for great things from Madi. From the time that I spoke with her to the time that I met her, I was instantly excited about the potential that she brings to the table.”
Prior to arriving at Bradley as a freshman in 2022-23, Rogers graduated summa cum laude from Florida Virtual Full Time High School in May 2022. She began her high school career at Tarpon Springs High School, where she played varsity tennis as a freshman in 2018-19. She won individual district and regional championships at both No. 1 Singles and No. 1 Doubles while helping Tarpon Springs to the team titles.
The treasurer elect of AED Pre-Professional Honor Society, Rogers is the founder and president of Bradley’s Pre-Physician Assistant Club. In her spare time, she enjoys escape rooms and fishing. She was previously a figure skater and participated in musical theater for six years.
“I’m so excited to be a part of Valpo women’s tennis,” Rogers said. “Thank you to Coach Modesto for this amazing opportunity to further my athletic and academic career at a place as distinguished as Valpo. I also want to thank admissions for being so helpful and supportive throughout this process. I can’t wait to contribute to the team, and upon graduating, further my education in the Physician Assistant program. Go Beacons!”
