It is common knowledge by now that the on-campus diversity is the University of Houston’s calling card, and the University’s sports teams are also home to wide-reaching representation. Through all the sports on campus, however, the UH tennis team might be one of the most diverse.
Six countries are represented between the team’s seven players and head coach. They speak many languages, and one player, freshman Sophie Gerits, is fluent in five.
Despite so many cultural and language barriers, the team is still having a great season and is hoping to take a four-match win streak into the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
