SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara women's tennis signed Madhu Satishbabu, a rising incoming sophomore from Washington State, for the upcoming 2025-26 season. 
 
"I chose Santa Clara because of the incredible athletic and academic culture," said Satishbabu.  "There are unlimited opportunities to grow as an athlete and as a person, and the supportive community is very inspirational."
 
During her freshman campaign last season, the Redmond, Washington native saw action in both singles and doubles, mostly during the fall.  Satishbabu played in 13 singles and nine doubles matches total. 
 
In her lone singles match of the spring dual season, she played at the No. 6 spot of the lineup. 
 
While at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, Washington, Satishbabu was a top 10 junior player in the Pacific Northwest and received the prestigious Presidential Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence, which is awarded to just 20 students in the nation. 
 
"We are thrilled to welcome Madhu to Santa Clara University," said Broncos head coach Allie Will-Van Alstyne.  "Her vibrant energy and infectious positivity will be a perfect addition to our team culture.  Madhu is an exceptional student and a natural fit for the academic and athletic excellence we strive for at SCU.  We can't wait to see the impact she'll make both on and off the court."
