DENVER – The University of Denver women's tennis team has added Paulina Jurkowska for the 2026-27 season, head coach Paul Wardlaw announced on Thursday.
 
Jurkowska will transfer to Denver after beginning her collegiate career at the University of Delaware.

She joins DU with one remaining year of eligibility and will enroll as a graduate student for 2026-27.
 
In her time at Delaware, Jurkowska compiled 41 singles wins and 50 doubles victories. For the majority of the 2025-26 campaign, she played at No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles – earning the second most doubles wins on the roster with 26 including a 17-5 record in dual matches.
 
She garnered All-Conference USA honors in each of the last two seasons, landing a second-team nod for 2025-26. In the 2025 fall season, she was the CUSA singles selection for the ITA Conference Masters Championships, and she advanced to the doubles semifinal at the ITA North East Regionals.
