Jovana Vasic, a women's tennis signee from Bradenton, Fla., was killed in a car accident Wednesday morning en route to Flagstaff to attend school and play tennis at NAU.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Vasic family," NAU Athletic Director Jim Fallis said in a release. "The Lumberjack family is shaken by the loss of a young life. What should be a very exciting time with the new school year starting next week is very sad today. Coach Kim Bruno and our whole program are devastated. We were looking forward to her joining our program."
Vasic was a transfer from St. Petersburg College in St. Petersburg, Fla. She would have been a junior on the team this year. She was a native of Des Plaines, Ill., and played at Keystone National High School. She was ranked as the No. 25 player in the National Junior College Athletic Association and played No. 1 and No. 2 singles at SPC last season.
