This weekend started with a gorgeous day of tennis on the Whitman campus.
We came out strong at 1 and 4 doubles winning 8-3 and 8-1 with Dena and Kate leading the way at 4. The crowd was great and it was so enjoyable seeing us pull out some close matches and retain wonderful composure up and down the lineup.
As a huge fan of ice hockey where they have 3 stars and soccer that has a man of the match, Katie and I have been awarding the Woman of the match each time and today Elise led the way both with her play and her support of her teammates, especially during Alyssa's match tie break. Today, we had to break our new tradition and award two Woman of the match awards because Dena was the best player during doubles with solid shotmaking, aggressive play and most of all incredible teamwork and focus from start to finish. She then kept herself glued courtside supporting everyone, especially Divneet during her hardfought two setter.
Tomorrow, we go right back to work with another big conference match at home, this time at 10am vs Linfield. If you are nearby, I hope to see you there as today's crowd was so wonderful.
