Fifth Annual Cougar Tennis Open a Smashing Success!

Canterbury’s fifth annual Cougar Tennis Open was a smashing success! The event took place on February 12, 2022, following the dedication of The Abuoqab Family Tennis Complex. This annual event was made even more special, as tournament participants were among the first to play on the newly renovated tennis courts.
This year, we had 20 pairs of players vying to win the title of Champion. In the semifinals,  
Joseph C. ’24 and Dylan M. ’25 beat out Jason Moon and Asher M. ’30, while Nelson Aguedo and Ainsley G. ’26 won against Connie Rosellini and Matthew K. ’25. 

Following several rounds of big serves and powerful backhands, the winners were crowned. Joseph C. ’24 and Dylan M. ’25 came out on top, with Nelson Aguedo and Ainsley G. ’26 in second place.
