Coach Somers' Take

Nickname: Sperry Twin #1

Tennis: Has her specialty shots that only she can hit known simply as Sperry 1 (the roller) and Sperry 2 (the lob thingy...who knows). The only time she misses is when she gets distracted by one of her many screaming fans as they pass by the Lone Mountain tennis courts.

Personal: The quality of tortellini allows for random bursts of joy...refuses to be seen in shorts (absolutely hates them, if she is ever wearing them you know she hasn't done her laundry in approximately 4 weeks). She has tried and successfully demolished every Ben and Jerry's ice cream ever made...ever. Jenny can be seen in the cafeteria with Emma 24/7. Her most used quote is "Take one for the team" which mainly applies off the court and can be very influential. Jenny is VERY blonde and can be spotted from anywhere...sweats profusely on her legs and hands (no idea why, we can't explain it...it could possibly be a medical condition and studies need to be done promptly). Jenny uses all USF athletic activities as an excuse to never ever have to be in the library...believes wholeheartedly that college girls really do have all the fun...the pink $1 bracelet on her wrist symbolizes the commitment and sacrifice it takes to be a true friend.

Future Ambitions: Jenny is aspiring to be a professional ping pong player and is wisely using tennis to help her reach her dream. Jenny loves baseball, especially the Giants, and she is going to marry Noah Lowry.
