Anastasia Dracheva comes to Miami University from Moscow, Russia. Daughter of Galina Dracheva, the 18-year-old freshman is majoring in marketing.

Anastasia is playing No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles this spring, sidelined only for a few weeks with a foot injury.

Her mother takes her shopping when she goes home to visit family in Russia. They shop for everything from shoes, to clothing to purses, to art. So much time is spent shopping with her mother that she does not even want to look at stores in the United Stands and claims she is "over that."
