Quote from player or coach: “We’re still pretty strong and we have some strong freshman and sophomores, like [No. 1 singles player] Kial Kaiser,” Shen said. “Obviously it’s not going to be as strong as the last two years because we lost [most of] that entire team. [But] I’m going to play my best and contribute to the team.”
Prognosis (quick summary of what we expect this season): This season will be a rebuilding season for the Falcons, after losing No. 1 singles player Nikhil Jayashankar and No. 2 singles player Deepak Sabada to graduation. However, returning singles players Kial Kaiser and Henry Shen, and the addition of freshman Neel Bedekar will still allow the Falcons to remain competitive in the league.
