Hungry Bears Take Silver

The Bellevue Club women's Tennis team, the Hungry Bears, took second place in USTA Nationals!


Nationals were held in Tucson, Ariz. Oct. 12-14, where the ladies were undefeated in pool play, winning their matches against Northern California, Southern States and Hawaii. They won their bracket and were also sectional champions.

They competed against a New England team during the semifinal, serving up yet another win! Unfortunately, the ladies lost their final match to a tough team from Dallas, Texas, with a score of 3-2, securing their silver medal.



There's a lot to be proud of, though, after a great season on the court. The Hungry Bears finished their season with a record of 20-1. Congratulations!
