JTCC is home to the University of Maryland (UMD) women’s varsity tennis team, and it was jam-packed with more than 100 spectators wearing black to “Black Out” the bubble on March 2 when the Lady Terps took on Liberty University.
Fans cheered outstanding National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I tennis and were delighted at the outcome when Maryland cruised to a 4-0 shutout victory in front of the energetic crowd.
“This year’s event grew in attendance from last year, and it was awesome to see everyone supporting the Lady Terps,” exclaimed John Dominguez, a JTCC member for more than 20 years. “The matches are free to attend, and there was standing room only which spoke to the overall success of the event again this year.”
Four lucky fans won free raffles that included a UMD book bag, UMD Men’s Basketball tickets, a JTCC drawstring bag, and a Wilson Burn racquet. Spectators had the opportunity to purchase Jersey Mike’s Subs food and drinks as well.
“Huge thank you to John Niswander and his staff at JTCC in helping organize and promote “Black Out” the Bubble. This was our second year in a row organizing a match promotion specific to JTCC members, and it was a great success,” UMD Head Coach Katie Dougherty said. “The match with Liberty was a blast for the student-athletes and fans. The JTCC ball kids were outstanding, and the crowd was energized and made the atmosphere so much fun to play in. Our team greatly appreciates the support we get from the JTCC community and look forward to seeing folks out at our future matches.”
