The team won the CIF-SS Division 4 Championships, the first tennis CIF Division 4 championships since 1981. In their tight game against Rowland, the Tigers solidified their season with a 7-11 match.

Athletic Director Melanie Horn was elated when she spoke about the tennis team and their achievements, using words and phrases like “ineffable” and “as good as it gets.”  In the exciting season saga, twins Ellie and Frances L. ’23 lost their first round but came back during their second round 6-4 and ended up winning their match 2-1. “Ellie and I realized that we had to pull off this win as it would be the only chance our get our team to 7-5 after the second round. If we weren't at 7-5, then it would be near impossible to win,” said Frances.
