Wheaton Tennis Tournament

This afternoon, my tennis team and I took part in the Wheaton Invitational Tennis Tournament. Wheaton College hosts the tournament annually and we have been fortunate enough to have been invited every year. This year was much smaller than previous years, and only four teams were in the draw; Wheaton, Bentley, Holy Cross, and Roger Williams.

This particular tournament is an individual tournament and opposed to a team one. It consisted of three singles matches and two doubles matches. Each player is guaranteed two matches. If you win the first round, your second match was the finals. If you lost your first round, you were put into a consolation bracket. My partner Leah Ribchinsky and I played at the #1 doubles position and unfortunately lost our first match 2-8 to Wheaton. We also lost our consolation match against Holy Cross with a final score of 4-8 (insert loud groan here).

Even though the Hawks didn't do so well today, we still had a blast. Our team is very close, and we always manage to have fun wherever we go.
