Fall Regional Tournament Day 1:
We have always capped the draws at 64 singles and 32 doubles but as the conference continues to improve and get deeper, more teams have good players to play. Tonight at the outdoor courts we saw that as Olivia and Katrina played qualifying matches to get into the main draw of the tournament.
Both played well, but also showed some nerves; Katrina came back from a tightly contested 5-7 first set to settle down, play smarter and win 5-7, 6-3,6-3. Liv stayed steady but after losing a close first set she let off the gas slightly as her opponent got better and better, the last few games Liv started to find her rythym, but it was too late as she lost 6-4,6-3. Liv will play consolation tomorrow afternoon, while Katrina has a 10am showdown with the #4 seed and all the tools to score an upset!
It was a beautiful evening, with great energy from the fans and awesome tennis on court. What a preview for what is coming tomorrow!

Coaching Philosophy
To me, being a college student is about opportunity and growth. As a coach, I consider myself lucky to spend 4 years providing opportunity while nurturing growth. We use common goals, hard work, open communication, respect and accountability as means to building meaningful relationships and improving each player’s skill set on and off the court. This means embodying championship virtues to inspire athletic, academic and personal growth that not only happens while you are at Whitman, but becomes a part of who you are throughout life.
