Tennis Match: Brandeis University

Beyond Class Activity: Extracurricular

On September 21st, I traveled with my Tennis Club to Brandeis University for a match. This was my first collegiate level match, and I played mixed doubles-girl and boy team vs girl and boy team-for the first time, with Scott, the President of our club. It was really cool experience, although I didn’t particularly enjoy the ball being served to me by a guy twice my size and 3 years older than me. His serves felt like they were coming at me at 45 mph, and so I just stuck my racket out and hoped the ball hit it half of the time. Everyone but Maddie, a sophomore, lost that day, but we all had fun laughing together and getting to know each other more.
