Mildren was awarded the Gwen Thiel Memorial Trophy by Tennis Australia, presented to the outstanding 18-and-under tennis player in South Australia, a region rich with tennis talent. In 2024, she won Australia's 16-and-under national championship, earning a wild card bid to the Australian Open Juniors Championships.

"It is so important to find players who are not only good tennis players, but also people who fit what our program is all about – respect," Ojeda said of her signees. "Sarah and Lisa are two very respectful, positive and joyful people to be around. They both love tennis and fell in love with the people here on campus. We are thrilled that they are joining our program, and we look forward to being a part of their tennis journey!"
