Lady Cougars fall to Kew Forest 4-1


The Girls Tennis team took on Kew Forest on Friday, September 27 at Juniper Valley Park. Martin Luther had its first win for the First Doubles, just one week after they had their first win for the Third Singles.

That First Doubles duo was Toya Brown and Mia Gonzalez with an 8:3 victory over Natalia Zeid and Elena Garone. The girls showed good rallies and strong serves to come out on top.

“I’m very proud of my girls” says Head Coach Leslie Aguirre. “Having them all here playing well is something I really like to see, especially how they are treating the other team and creating such a positive environment,” she added.

Anybody who watched the match could easily tell how much fun the girls were having. Coach Aguirre is respected very much by her players and that high sportsmanship they all have when they are on the court is a reflection of their coach.

The season is still early and there is room for improvement. The key part of the game Coach Aguirre is going to be stressing in practice is the serving. “Once they master their serves, they’ll master the game,” she said.



Their next match is Wednesday, October 2 at Juniper Valley Park at 4:15 against Portledge.
