It was a busy Match Week for the Mighty Maverick Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team playing three matches in two days at the Lost Forest Tennis Club.
In the first match, the Team easily defeated St. Andrews out of Austin 5-0. Victoria Zhao dominated in a 6-0 6-0 win playing line 1 singles. Playing line 2 singles, Isabella Diaz, a sophomore new to the Team this year, had little trouble against her opponent winning 6-1 6-0. Another new addition to the Team, freshman Nadia Khera, easily won her line 3 singles match 6-0 6-0. Hannah Chang (captain) and Ava Phan continued to show their winning ways by defeating their opponent 6-0 6-0 at line 1 doubles. Playing line 2 doubles, Charlotte Papeians and Dalia Khera were never really tested in their 6-0 6-0 victory.
Next up was St. Stephens School, who also traveled from Austin to play the Team. Coach Zeze continued to experiment with different combinations of lineups, as the Team easily rallied to defeat St. Stephens 5-0. Nadia Khera played line 1 singles and defeated a pesky opponent 6-0 6-1. Hannah Chang (captain) was victorious in her line 2 singles match 6-2 2-1 (retired).

Nadia Khera won a highly competitive, come-from-behind match 5-7 6-3 10-7 at line 1 singles. Hannah Chang (captain) dropped a long and grueling match 2-6 5-7 playing line 2 singles.
