Head Coach Jesse Tarr had this to say about Pugina
"Getting to know Evgeniya has been a pleasure. She is a genuine person who will be a wonderful addition to our Bears family. She is very mature for her age, training in Florida across the world from her home country. Her tennis results speak for themselves. She has been successful in two countries and I believe her best tennis is still ahead of her."

The Men's team will add Anton Van Nunen to the 2020 class. Van Nunen, a native from Linkopig Sweden, will be reuniting with his brother Eric Van Nunen on the men's team.

He is also ranked in the top 40 in singles in his age group in Sweden and won a regional champion with his brother Eric in doubles.

Head Coach Jesse Tarr had this to say about Van Nunen
"Anton is the second LR Bear in his family, joining his brother Eric. Anton, Eric and his family are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Swedish tennis has a very high level and Anton has been successful in both singles and doubles.  He is a quality athlete who has a drive to get better. When it comes to the Van Nunen's, the more the better here at LR."
