It's a headcount sport, so it's 8 full scholarships and no partials. That's why the scholarship math has confused me the last few years. I'm assuming that Nicole Mossmer has medically retired or her scholarship has been moved off the books of the tennis team in some other way, and that Sara Choy is no longer on scholarship, having completed her four usual years here, and she's paying for grad school some other way. (Covid changed the rules and gave folks an extra year of eligibility, but it's my understanding that didn't affect the total number of scholarships teams could offer.) That keeps us at 8 for this year, and presumably Blake will slide off the books next year, too, even if she sticks around for an extra covid year. 

In the past, there have been years where I simply cannot make the math work unless someone is paying their own way a year. When Choy and Madurawe were freshmen, I assumed that's how it was going. And when Ma, Yepifanova, and Xu all joined us last year, Ma and Yepifanova were announced on National Signing Day, but Xu wasn't, making me suspect that she was paying her own way for a year or had obtained some sort of alternative funding for the year. But I'm assuming Xu is on scholarship this year.

Big, big win for Ma today, 6-4, 6-2 over #7 Chloe Beck!

Yepifanova just started her first round match, and Blake's match with Sieg is just getting going, too.
