Thank-you parents

Dear Wonderful Fans,

Thank-you so much for coming out to support us this weekend against both Miami and Florida State. Those were two great wins for us and it would not have been as smoothly achieved if we did not have you all out there supporting us. In addition to the two wins, this weekend was special in so many other ways as well. Firstly, we officially acknowledged Jamie’s amazing wins record and his achievement of becoming the winningest women’s head coach in the ACC’s with a little ceremony and a surprise tennis ball shaped cake. This goes without saying, but we’re extremely proud to be part of this achievement and this Duke tradition that has been developed throughout the years under Jamie’s leadership.

In this short blog, I’d like to acknowledge the people that have sacrificed so much for us and continue to support us through everything— our parents. This weekend was a perfect example of how important our parents have been and are to our successes with them all sitting up in the stands and cheering us on. We had the Capra family, Mrs. Kahan, Mr. and Mrs. Turewitz, Mr. Spicijaric and the Ashworth family all here to show us their love and support. Throughout the season we’re continuously joined by parents who travel across the country in order to show us their support. It’s always comforting to know that we have such wonderful people to help us through when times get tough or when we just need a little encouragement. I know that all the girls on the team are extremely grateful for everything that they do for us (including all the delicious baked goods that we receive on a weekly basis) and we’re always so happy to see their reassuring faces in the stands!

GO PARENTS!

This week marks the last three matches of our regular season. On Thursday we play UNC at 3PM. GTHC! We then play Boston College at noon on Saturday and Maryland at noon on Sunday. Come out and cheer us on!

GO DUKE!

Yours in tennis,

Monica Gorny and the rest of DWT
