On a tight-knit squad of eight players, the Seton Hall tennis team will graduate five. Out of all the programs at the school, this is by far the highest turnover rate.
Mekeila Erspamer, Minja Gligic, Anniek Jansen, Michal Matson and Melody Taal all had their undergraduate careers ended early by COVID-19. Now, if all choose to leave and not express an extra year of eligibility, the tennis team will look much different next season. Although that was bound to happen, the sentiment is amplified by the shortened season in the spring 2020 semester.
After a disappointing start to the season at 3-9, the team was looking to rebound in the latter half of the spring with a better effort over the final eight games, including Big East play.
