In those four dual matches, Gross did not drop a set and lost only one game combined. Her only two singles losses were to Emory teammates in separate tournaments last fall.

Quote:

"I decided to play tennis at Emory because academics come before tennis. Emory is such a great school academically, and there is a nice balance playing tennis here, as tennis would come first in many Division I schools. It is important to have a balance between tennis and acadamics, and socially as well."
