Hey there tennis fans!
This week was a good week
for your lady lions. We finally got around to taking our team picture for the
website. It's only one picture that we need, but of course (because we are
girls) it almost seems virtually impossible to get the perfect picture and one
that everyone will equally like or at least, tolerate. So it may not surprise
you that a majority of us want to retake them this week. Girls will be girls,
am I right?
The Loyolan came to
interview Coach Jamie about celebrating his big 40th season as head
coach. Not too long ago, you might remember that I actually wrote an almost
identical article about Jamie for one of my journalism classes, which will also
be featured in March's issue of Inside Tennis Magazine. So definitely check
that out when that's released! In addition to Jamie's interview regarding his
40th anniversary, they requested that the two captains also be
interviewed for the story. So Lisa and I had to string some nice thoughts to
say about Jamie.
It was a struggle. Totally
kidding....we can go on forever about some of the crazy endeavors he's
experienced, the philosophical epiphanies, the corky jokes that come out on a
daily basis but also about how great of a mentor, coach and father figure he
has been to all of us and I imagine all of his former players over the past 40
years. Stay tuned for that article to be released in the Loyolan soon!
This past Saturday, which
happened to be Valentines Day, we traveled up north to play the Cal Poly
Mustangs. Our matches are always super tight with them year after year so we
were mentally prepared for a heated battle. After a tough doubles go, we
stepped it up big time in singles play and posted wins across the board except
for one. This left us with a final match score of 5-2. Shout out to my lions
for the big fight. It made that long 4 ½ or so hours or so drive worth it. Not
to mention on a day celebrating love, we could walk away playing the sport we
love with a victory. What can be better?
Entering our Spring Beak
this week, we have yet another travel trip to play UCSB this coming Saturday.
So we're looking forward to that.
That's all for now! GO
LIONS!
