Quote from head women's tennis coach Andrew DeBruyn:
- "Rose joined our tennis team for only the 2019-20 academic year. She was an extremely hard worker who led by example. Rose always regularly spent extra time outside of practices which led to her improvement on the court."
Editor's Note: The COVID-19 pandemic caused the abrubt end to winter and spring sports for the 2019-20 academic year. We are not able to host Senior Day ceremonies to thank these seniors for their dedication to their chosen sport. As a result, we will be posting senior salutes like above for each senior over the coming weeks.
