Krishnamurthy takes William and Mary Tennis Invitational

Health and stamina are two top concerns for the Princeton women's tennis team this year.The team proved it has both this past weekend as it blasted into the season ? taking not only the William and Mary Tennis Invitational in Virginia but also Princeton's own Invitational by storm.The Tigers clinched number one in the Ivy League two years ago, but were unable to repeat the triumph last year when a back injury forced their number one singles player, Kavitha Krishnamurthy, out of the lineup and allowed Penn to squeeze by with the title.Despite being injured much of last year, Krishnamurthy was still good enough to qualify for the NCAA Championships last season, where she lost in the first round.Now a junior, Krishnamurthy showed no signs of rust.
