Athlete of the Week: Women’s Tennis’ Esther Lee

Women’s tennis is halfway through their 2019 season with a winning record at 5-4. Sophomore Esther Lee has been showing her strength by stepping up in tough matches and displaying consistency throughout the season, but has begun to peak in the recent weeks.

Lee was able to lead her team to a big win against Dominican University of California on Wednesday at the Biola Tennis Center. She rallied to victory in her singles match, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. Teammate Lauren Lee also contributed to the duo’s win in the No. 1 doubles match, 6-1.

Just a day before, Esther Lee and Lauren Lee were the only pair to win a doubles match against Angelo State. They fought back from a first set loss and ultimately earned the win with a score of 6-4.

Lee has shown consistency throughout the season, but has begun to peak in the recent weeks. She has been a leading factor in her team’s recent success and a shining factor in the positive energy engaging on and off the court.

Lee’s brilliance has brought Biola tennis plenty of team success this year, and for that, she is our Chimes Athlete of the Week.

Andi Basista, News Editor
Andi Basista is a senior journalism major who loves basketball, underground music and is highly appreciative of a good beach day. [email protected]  Originally from a small farm town in Ohio, I have put aside my corn shucking gloves to embrace a new life in the Angel City to study sports journalism. It is true what they say about culture shock and LA traffic. I am used to being late to work because of getting stuck behind a John Deere tractor, but now it is because of gridlock on the I5. However, I have quickly adjusted to the city life and haven’t looked back since. I moved from the midwest out to Los Angeles over two years ago. Since then my life has changed in big ways. I have learned the importance of pursuing my dreams in order to make them a reality. Sports have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the time I was able to stand up on my own, there was always a ball in my hand. Basketball quickly became my MO. I was involved in multiple athletic organizations, traveling on AAU teams and playing my way through my middle and high school league. My passion for the sport is what inspired me to pursue a career in sports journalism. Being at a place like Biola that has an abundance of opportunities has allowed me to expand from my small-town roots, and that is something I am truly thankful for.
