FROM THE COURTS
Head Coach Jordan Smith
On the strong start for Maralgoo Chogsomjav…
"Great week of tennis by our two ladies with Maggie in singles and playing with Zhanel in doubles. Not easy starting our fall season with a national tournament but our ladies were up for the challenge. Couldn't be more proud of Maggie. Picking up four singles wins including a ranked win was awesome in her first competition back. She definitely picked up where she left off last season."
On the first matches for doubles partners Maralgoo and Zhanel…
"Zhanel and Maggie competed really well in doubles. Especially with this being their first time playing together as partners. Picking up a ranked win over NC State showed that we're doing the right things to lead to future doubles success."
