Panther Tennis Season Opener Two Weeks Away!

The Middlebury Panthers are hungry for our dual match season to begin! The first two weeks of training with the coaching staff this Spring has been nothing short of impressive. Our group has been attacking morning workouts, sharpening their skills on the courts, and are bubbling with enthusiasm for some outside competition. Thankfully, our first matches are just around the corner, so we will be able to start applying force against outside competition soon.

Opening weekend for us will be March 14th and 15th, when we will play against four teams across two days all in Nelson Arena! On Saturday, we face off against Bates (1230pm) and then Hamilton (5pm). Then on Sunday we will compete against #8th nationally ranked Brandeis prior to taking on St. Michael’s. It will be an action packed and fun filled weekend that we have been preparing hard for!

Live Scoring and Live Streaming 
If you won’t be able to join us here in Middlebury, we will have live scoring and live streaming all weekend (with links on the Schedule/Results page of our website). From these links, which will be placed on our schedule page soon, you will be directed to a TennisTicker virtual scoreboard specific to each match that will provide live scoring for all matches being played. If it is a home match, then each court that is currently active will have a “Camera Icon” that you can click to access the video live stream for that specific court.

Community Service: Girl Scout Cookies
This past weekend, all of our boys helped our local Middlebury girl scouts by unloading and organizing a truck full of girl scout cookies! Many hands certainly made for light work. Check out the pic below to see our Panthers in action.

A little cold weather does not our boys from helping to unload and organize all the Girl Scout Cookies to be sold in Addison country this year! A fun and small way to lend a helping hand to support our local community.

Reminder: Senior Night and Alumni Weekend
Our Senior Night will take place the evening of April 18th to celebrate our wonderful group of senior captains!  We are excited to announce that we will be hosting an Alumni Weekend this Spring on April 17-19th.  More details to follow, but it will be an exciting weekend with matches including against perennial powerhouses Emory and Bowdoin that weekend. Please RSVP if you will be able to join us!

Let’s go Midd!
