On Monday, October 15, the varsity tennis team beat Milken School 18-0, resulting in yet another win for the team in league. So far, the team remains undefeated.

All players won all three of their matches. Though conditions were windy, captain Zoe Woolf ’19 said the team was able to adapt.

“We adjusted to the weather knowing that if the wind is blowing to the right, we had to hit more towards the left in order to stay within the court and boundaries,” she said.

On Tuesday, October 23, varsity tennis will face Buckley at Balboa Park.

"I think volleyball is very mental in general, and so you really have to lean on your teammates," Salehi said. "You can't go through a season without becoming really close."
