Arizona Daily Wildcat
October 11, 1996
Sometimes the best way to get in the water is to just jump in.
That is what freshman tennis player Martine Vandekerckhove will learn this season as she plays her first collegiate tournament in the United States. The Belgium-born Wildcat will get her first taste of competition this morning.
Competing in the Arizona State/Miss Karen's Frozen Yogurt Fall Tennis Classic in Tempe, the Wildcats start play at 8 a.m. and will continue through Sunday afternoon. Also competing are returning seniors Stephanie Sammaritano and Khristen Pietrucha, and so phomore Monique Allgre. Arizona's best player, Vicky Maes will not make the trip for undisclosed reasons.
