Junior Olivia Hudak is excited for the upcoming girls tennis season. 

The tennis team opened its season with a win over Abbott Tech on April 4.

“I want to better myself this season by really trying to work harder and improve on certain skills,” Hudak said. “Also, putting in the work at practice.”

Hudak is a two-sport varsity athlete. She plays volleyball in the fall and tennis in the spring.

She said she is ready to help lead the team on and off the court.

“I’m most excited about the team bond that we have everywhere,” Hudak said. “I love getting close with my teammates and forming good bonds that last throughout the season.” 

The captains of the tennis team this season are seniors Samantha Burns, Caroline Doyle, and Sabrina Lawless.  

Hudak and Doyle will play in the #1 doubles spot for Law this season. They went All-SCC as a doubles team last season.

“I play my best as a player when I’m most determined to do well and succeed on the court,” Hudak said. 

Hudak’s goal is to continue to improve throughout the season and contribute to the team with her positive attitude and great sportsmanship. 

“My favorite thing during tennis season is the relationships I have with my teammates,” Hudak said. “It makes matches and practices so much more fun.”
