App State women’s tennis has a new look heading into the 2016 season. With four new freshmen coming and no graduating seniors from last year, the Mountaineers are facing a season of some inexperience.
This year’s team has three seniors, captains Clare Cox and Mackenzie LaSure who were last year’s captains as juniors, and Brianna Armellino. All three are experiencing their second season in a row as the oldest players on team with no seniors in 2015.
“It is similar because we were still captains last year, but this team is a lot bigger,” LaSure said. “The younger girls need a lot of leadership and it is really important to be together and rely on each other.
