Balaji also explained how they were able to stay in shape in between this season and the last.

“We stayed in shape with some aerobic conditioning like running and yoga and we lift weights once a week,” Balaji said. “We also have daily tennis practice.”

Junior Alexandra Nandin gave her thoughts on the first victory of the season. The girl’s singles won one out of three of their matches.
