January 2, 2026 | Women's Tennis
CHAPEL Hill, N.C. – Head coach Brian Kalbas and the University of North Carolina women's tennis program announced the addition of Maddy Zampardo to the team Friday afternoon. The Detroit, Mich., native is set to join the Tar Heels for the 2026 spring season.
Zampardo heads into her junior year at Carolina after previously competing the past two seasons at NC State. Throughout her time at NC State, Zampardo was a consistent, competitive piece in both the singles and doubles lineups for the Wolfpack. Overall, Zampardo collected six ACC Doubles Team of the Week honors, ACC Player of the Week, and ACC Freshman of the Week accolades.
As a freshman, she was named Second Team All-ACC in doubles after posting a team-leading 34-10 overall and 8-2 ACC record in doubles play with her partner. She also appeared in the NCAA Doubles Championships. During her freshman campaign, Zampardo compiled a 31-12 overall record in singles and tied for the most ACC singles wins after going 10-2 in league play.
In the 2024-25 season, Zampardo competed at the no. 1 position with her partner Gabriella Broadfoot, where they compiled a 16-5 doubles record during the regular season. The duo also earned back-to-back ACC Doubles Team-of-the-Week honors and consistently ranked in the ITA top 10. In the fall, Zampardo became an ITA All-America after winning the ITA All-American Doubles Championship.
Prior to college, Zampardo was a blue chip recruit and ranked as high as No. 7 in her recruiting class. She was also the top-ranked recruit out of Michigan in the class of 2023. The junior was the 16's Orange Bowl Doubles Champion and claimed six National USTA gold balls, two bronze, and one silver. Zampardo was also a singles finalist at the 2022 ITF JB1 Pan American.
