Strengths: "Return our number-one player Julia Ritchey and 3 doubles starters, Ashlyn Renner, Kaylee Cole and Adacyn James, plus three other girls Annabel Shippey, Kimmy Yingling and Brooklyn Coppersmith who filled in a lot in doubles. Hardworking and fun group of girls who really showed up a lot to work on their tennis skills at volunteer tennis over the summer."
