Senior graphic design major/ marketing minor Maria Martinez has been rocking the tennis courts for the past 3 years she has been at Evangel. Her passion for the sport is something that has made Maria stand out time and time again. This year Maria, along with her partner Amy, made it to the National Tennis Conference. This was Maria’s second time to Nationals. When asked what contributed to her success this year, Maria said “I feel that my doubles partner Amy and I have game styles that complement each other. We improved and gained confidence after playing in two warm up tournaments before regionals."
One of the biggest differences between this year at Nationals for Maria compared to last year was that she had to adjust to her new partner, "which did not take that long because we communicate and understand each other very well" said Maria.
When she is not busy with tennis practices Maria loves hanging out with friends. "Any activity that includes fun, chocolate, and friends will make me happy J".
You might be wondering what motivates Maria on and off the tennis court. According to Martinez it is her dedication and love for God, her family, and her friends!
