GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE

 

• "The women's team plays with class and represents Christ and IWU well. Every close match, we found a way to pull it out. Player of the match was Emily Connely. She has done so much for this team both over the summer and coming into the season, and then for her to come out and dominate in doubles and singles showed what a true leader she is. Emily is a difference maker for the women's team. Really proud of Sofia Munoz winning both of her matches in her first collegiate match. She battled three tough sets in singles and showed true Wildcat spirit. Ellie Snider won 6-0, 6-0 and set the tone with Emily to get the women rolling in singles. It's so great to have incredible depth on the women's team."
