• Tennis Tigers Cage Harding Hawks

  9/9/2024
  The USN Spirit Night warmed up at the River Campus Courts this afternoon.

  Our Tennis Tigers were ready for the match against the Harding Hawks and stepped up in TIGER fashion with a peppy warm up and lots of excitement.

   

  Our Singles Sisterhood--CC, Elizabeth and Audrey-took the courts and brought their growl to their opponents.  The plan was--consistency, first serves and PING-our new version of hitting at least 4 balls in a rally, expecting to hit one more ball than their opponent!

  Elizabeth captured the first point for the team on line 2 easy peasy, while our Doubles Divas, Charlotte and Sydney, duked it out on their court, coming up with our second team point.  Applause on court 1 for CC's win tipped their tight match score to 3 for our Tigers.  Fresh off her nail biting win at BA, Audrey had the comeback win of the day, finding herself down 3-7 (playing an 8 game pro set) and rallying to win 7 straight games to capture her team point with a 9-7 victory!!  Hattie and Rose brought their doubles win to the team to claim the SWEEEEEP of the Harding Hawks.

  Great work today, Tigers!

  Eloise, Claire, Hadley, Mattie James, Imaan, Parker, Syra and Lucy jumped on the courts for short set matches, finishing just in time to race back to USN for SPIRIT NIGHT!

   

• JV Debut Match @ River Campus

  9/5/2024
  The Girls JV USN Tennis Team made their home  opener  debut today at River Campus.
  Our opponent was St. Cecilia Academy, a team we have faced in the past.
  All three of our doubles matches were fought hard and evenly matched.
  Our JV Girls have been improving every week and I am looking forward to our future matches knowing that whoever our Girls face they won’t go down without a fight.

• Tigers and Eagles Throw Down at BA

  9/5/2024
  Our match at BA started off with a spirited 'Tigers on 3' cheer and quickly got down to business with the Tigers battling the Eagles for points and pride.  BA won the points on line 1 and 2 Singles and lines 1 and 2 doubles. Down but now out, parents and teammates cheered for the remaining match on court. Nerves were on display.
  The match of the day belonged to Audrey, line 3, playing a scrappy opponent tit for tat.  On this hot day, the player who could withstand the heat and maintain composure, hitting one more ball than her opponent was Audrey coming out on top in a nail-biting finish 9-7.

  Her teammates ran to the court to congratulate her!

  We may have only come away with one point for the overall match, but the feeling of a hard-fought win for the team was priceless!
  GO TIGERS!
