The Marquette women’s tennis team had just completed warm-ups, and all but one member of the team had conjugated by the stands waiting for the lineups to be called. Senior Erin Gebes headed out to the middle court at Helfaer Tennis Stadium with a few balls and her racquet. Standing a few feet in from the baseline, she held a ball high above her head before dropping it down to the court. As the ball bounced back up in a quick, swift, graceful motion Gebes smacked the ball over the net. Only she could see her opponent as she visualized the imaginary match she was about to play.
