Carter will move to No.1 singles while Smith and Duerholz will fill No.2 and No.3 singles, respectively ….Numbers remain strong in the program with 15 varsity and 17 JV players.
Coach Dragotta: “A lot of these girls have been with me for the past four years so I’m expecting another good year despite losing some key players to graduation. Last year was an exceptional year for the program. Everything fell into place.”
