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.

Student moderator Cleo Wilson said the courtyard is filled with cheers and laughter, as the school comes together to support its athletes and show pride in the community. “I think especially at an all girls school, it's important to recognize everybody's highlights in their season, and pay attention to the fact that girls are athletes too and that we are strong and powerful."
