Early life

[1] [2] On the ITF Junior Circuit from 2016 to 2020, she won four doubles titles and reached a peak ranking of No. 507. [3]

College career

In her first year at North Carolina in 2021–2022, Tanguilig compiled a 32–7 singles record and a 28–10 doubles record, partnering mostly with Cameron Morra.

The next season, she excelled in doubles with Fiona Crawley. The pair reached the national No. 1 doubles ranking following a regional ITA win and a national runner-up finish in the fall of 2022. [5] [6] [7] In singles, she played mostly in North Carolina's No. 3 spot but was ranked as high as No. 7 nationally.
