Grant, Gruber, Walther named captains for women’s tennis

Head coach Cory Tusler has announced that Julie Grant ’16, Emma Gruber ’17 and Kasey Walther ’16 will captain the women’s tennis team for the 2015-2016 season.

“This is the most organized group of captains I have had in a long time,” Tusler said. “They are outgoing, great leaders and have made a lasting impression on the new incoming players that will be with us for the next four years.”

Walther has held the No. 1 singles position each of her first three seasons, and Grant and Gruber have twice been named Intercollegiate Tennis Association all-academic team members. All three are captains for the first time.

The women’s tennis team opens its regular season hosting a non-league match against nationally ranked Babson College at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1. The team’s opening day lineup may feature newcomers in three of the six singles positions.
