Phoenix women's tennis ready to reach new heights in 2014
Coming off a 21-win spring season in 2013, the most successful campaign in program history, the Elon University women’s tennis team is gearing up for the beginning of a new spring season in which the team will return many of its top producing players from a year ago. The Phoenix roster includes four seniors, most notably Jordan Johnston and Frida Jansaker. The two have been a dynamic doubles pair for Elon in the past, going 22-2 on the 2013 season, including 9-1 in the Southern Conference. When asked to describe what makes them such a dominant duo, Johnston said it goes beyond words. “We have gotten into a really good system of playing doubles together and we have so much experience now, this being our third season playing together,” she said. “We really have a great understanding of each other. It doesn’t even require words anymore. We just know what it takes to win and we know how to get the best out of each other and I think that’s the reason why we are so successful – because we know what to do to help each other out and pick each other up.” Johnston and Jansaker, the No.
