Head coach Luke Ogren expressed enthusiasm about the new recruit, stating, "Maarja is an aggressive player that will be a strong addition to the lineup in singles and doubles. Her level has been increasing quickly recently and we expect to continue that progress here. We are excited to have her join us and help us do great things in the OVC!"
