While talking about certain successes during this season coach Wiggins praised the fact that the women’s tennis were able to go undefeated against all their matches against rival junior colleges.

For the players that are leaving next year, and their performance while on their way out, was only one player and she was a great leader and was able to share her knowledge to everyone on the team.

“Our number 1 doubles team was best in the big 8 south conference. We had 7th and 10th seeded singles players in the state tournament as well as 4th and 10th seeded players in doubles. I couldn’t be more proud of the success this team has had this season.” coach Wiggins on the summary of their season.

Despite their second round playoff loss, the women’s tennis season was still a successful season, for now they begin to grow from the knowledge they gain from this season. They will be back in action next spring and look to build on a successful spring 2019 season.
