Ksenia and Jemma (background) are the doubles team that qualified for this tournament. The graphic should have their names. Ksenia is a senior from Russia. Jemma is a senior from England.

If you hate the transfer portal, and you hate NIL, then you should celebrate these three student-athletes. Four years without transferring, and zero NIL. There is one more member of that freshman class that has not been able to compete this year due to physical issues that are being addressed. Her plan is to play next season. And, they earned an NCAA bid last season.

Wow! I was thinking about reading "War and Peace" just to keep me busy for a few hours, but reading this resume' took care of that need.
