The varsity girlsʼ tennis team played their last Almont League game against the San Gabriel Matadors, resulting in a 6-12 loss which ended their season with a 4-4 record in league. The team qualifi ed for the California Scholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs, advancing to the fi rst round after defeating Redland East Valley 13-5 at the preliminary match on Nov. 9.
“Weʼve had all those preseason and season games to prepare us for the competition. We still have practices to make sure that weʼre not rusty and that weʼre conditioned,” doubles player Eva Moc said.
According to doubles player Nancy Ng, the team learned that every point in the game was crucial after losing to the Mark Keppel Aztecs with a close score of 76-79.
“We had to be competitive, even if it was just a little more than the other team. We had to have more stamina, be stronger, and have a better mentality,” Ng said.
Nevertheless, throughout the course of the season, the players have grown stronger and learned the importance of team work.
“There was a major improvement in team spirit. This year, I felt like there was much more of a want to win. Everyone tried their best. We supported each other all the way,” Ng said.
