Coach Morris on Vanessa Fuleihan: “Our hardest worker, Vanessa has been a great addition to our program. She played in the No. 8 position most of last year, but with all of her hard work, I expect to see continued improvement with her court basics and results this season. Her baseline game is much more consistent on both forehand and backhand and her improved conditioning will allow her to be stronger toward the end of matches.”
