The Century girls tennis team prepares to look forward after their loss to the powerhouse Mayo in a recent match. Mayo has established a mini girls tennis dynasty in Minnesota, with three consecutive Class 3A team state championships in the past three years and another possibly on the horizon this fall. Led by three top-10 ranked seniors, Mayo is ranked No. 1 in the state, with seniors Aoife Loftus, Malea Diehn, and Eliana Elder.
Next year, all three seniors will have moved on to college. Mayo's senior doubles players, Diane Meunier and Ella Brinkman, will also be in their final year of high school tennis. Century, with a strong team of underclassmen, has a chance to shine late in the postseason. The Panthers (10-1 overall) suffered their first loss of the season on Monday, but they are cautiously optimistic about their future.
Century's junior No. 2 singles player, Zoe Zhang, is excited about the team's strong returnees in doubles and the opportunity to get a win over Mayo next year, especially as it will be her senior year.
