DANTE LASTING
Assistant Sports Editor
Fall is officially here, and Fredonia athletics are in full swing.
The women’s tennis team had their senior night last Thursday. The team celebrated seniors Avril King and Anna Chiacchia before their matches. On this night, the two won their singles and doubles matches. The seniors commented on the love they have for the team that they have been playing with this year.
“I think as a team, even though it’s an individual sport, I feel like we are more of a team just as much as a team that plays together,” Chiacchia said. “You can feel it, just by the way this team cares for each other and everything that they did for our senior night. We are more than a team, we are a family.”
The team is 7-1 on the season, and they will look to continue to dominate this weekend.
