FROM THE COURTS
Head Coach Jordan Smith
On the strong start for Maralgoo Chogsomjavā¦
"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."
Ā
On the first matches for doubles partners Maralgoo and Zhanelā¦
"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."
