At Second Singles Junior Sahar Islam has earned the nickname "the marathon women"  In two consecutive matches she's played a total of 5.5 hours.... Despite being pushed to the brink in both sets against an extremely game opponent, she still manage to win in two sets. Sahar ended a few games with picture perfect drop-shots and aces. *Sahar's first set concluded with a tiebreaker (7-3)

" I feel so bad complaining to my mom about going to my max core training during the off-season (laughing) it's so needed this season.  Maya is such a competitor she plays everyone tough and she literally fights for every point. Wait... I'm the last one playing? (laughing) I'm happy we got the team win most importantly. We can enjoy this but we have to get ready for another tough opponent (Phoenixville) on Monday"  -Sahar Islam
