From being homeschooled to jumping onto a Power 5 tennis team, Washington State freshman Maxine Murphy has undergone a lot of change throughout her first year in the crimson and gray.
The southern California native has taken a much different path than the typical WSU athlete, as Murphy underwent five years of virtual school in order to maximize her training in tennis.
"I basically had to learn through a computer, teach myself everything," Murphy said. "It gave me a lot of flexibility so I could train for tennis."
