Graduate
Gala A.
Born in Buenos Aires and raised in Mexico, Gala grew up surrounded by elite competition. Her father, Germán, was the all-time leading scorer for Toros Neza in Mexico's Primera División and a member of Argentina's 1995 FIFA U-20 World Cup-winning squad. Enlightium gave Gala the flexibility to channel that competitive DNA into tennis while maintaining academic excellence. After graduating in 2023, she earned a roster spot at Iowa State, competing in the Big 12 as a freshman and earning Commissioner's Honor Roll — then transferred to Grand Canyon University, where she made an immediate impact.
Where they are now
Now a junior at GCU, Gala has earned All-WAC Second Team Singles, All-WAC First Team Doubles, WAC All-Tournament honors, and a perfect 4-0 record in the WAC tournament semifinals and finals. Off the court, she's an ITA All-Academic Team and ITA Scholar-Athlete honoree.
