Women’s Tennis finished its season with a record of 2-4.
Junior Alexa Martinez won first place in the singles division, and senior Luisa Schulte won second in the singles division in the IAAM B conference. “I was really thankful for all of the support I got from my family, the coaches, and my teammates,” Martinez said.
For the doubles pairs, there were many new players. “A lot of players were new to varsity tennis this year, and I was new to tennis entirely,” junior Emily Schiavone said.
Head coach George Panin helped these new players tremendously. “He really focused on helping us with the fundamentals and also strategies so that we were able to win the matches,” Schiavone said.
“I think that [the doubles pairs] improved as the season continued,” junior Hailey Ishak said.
“I was really happy, and I had a great time with the team. I definitely made some awesome memories,” Martinez said.
