Girls tennis: Team wins 4-3 against Saratoga HS

Roshan Fernandez • September 19, 2017

The Matadors huddled for their own team chant on Sept. 12, just as the Saratoga HS players finished their own team cheer. The team brought energy to the court, laughing and joking with one another as they came together into their huddle.

The players yelled the traditional Matador cheer in loud, spirited voices, and then put their all hands in middle. Led by captains Carol Lei and Rashmi Ghonasgi, the huddle swayed side to side in unison as the players cheered.

Even after the huddle broke apart, and the players spread out across the courts to play their own matches, and those watching could still hear the sounds of players cheering on one another.

Ultimately, the team played with great intensity and was successful in defeating SHS by a narrow score of 4-3. Scroll down to see GIFS from the team’s victory on Sept. 12.
