Women's club tennis remains undefeated with win over Duke

The women's club tennis team continued its undefeated season this past Saturday with a win over Duke at home, 10-2. Fourth years Nicole Griglione and Maya Lazarevic, third years Jackie Culver, Jenny Chang and Amy Shipley, second years Shoa Tavassoli and Taylor Sharp and first years Leigh Shoettinger, Mallori Browne, Heather Blish and Jamie Zakkak all had wins to help defeat the Blue Devils.

Also, the team held a tournament over the past several months to determine which players will represent Virginia at the National Club Tennis Tournament in Florida next spring, and Griglione, Culver, Tavassoli, Browne, third year Jessica Rackley, and second year Maria Cristina Murguruza were selected. This year the team's coach, Mel Harris, will make the trip as well. The team is hoping to top its third place showing from last year.
