The team was excited to hear the news yesterday that we were selected to go to Claremont, CA for the first round of the NCAA tournament. The team knows that it is a privilege to represent our conference in the tournament and also a great opportunity to play a terrific team this Friday in the first round. With our focus on Redlands at 2pm Friday, we are having a lot of fun practicing and enjoying our time together.
That is really what this weekend is about for us, enjoying the moments as we prepare to play our best tennis. This is such a competitive group on court, but if you have been around us, you know that how much fun we have together off court creates a positive environment that I am amazed to see this balance in such a high achieving group of young women.
Enough of my rambling, we've got work to do getting ready for the weekend, here are the details about the NCAA Regionals.
Our match schedule is:
Friday 2pm Courts 7-12 (lower courts) at CMS Bizantz Tennis Center vs University of Redlands, who edged us out on Spring Break 5-4.
Saturday 2pm - if we win we play Pomona Pitzer, who has a bye
Sunday 12pm - Regional Final
If you're coming, let me know, we'd love to see you at the tournament.
