Other returning doubles players from last year include seniors Alex Carney and Nicole Desjardins, juniors Anna Kaiser, Missy Coolsaet and Katherine Kuzmiak and sophomore Luna Terauchi.
Freshmen Olah Latala and Casey Guthrie will also be vying for starting spots this season.
Longtime Coach John Shade looks forward to another stellar season thanks to the work his team has put in during the offseason.
“I expect a good season,” Shade said. “The only person who didn’t play leading up to the season was Alex Carney, who was on the basketball team. The kids have done the job in the offseason.
The Red Devils open the season at home on April 10 against Grosse Pointe North and will travel to defending Division 4 state champion Birmingham Sacred Heart two days later.
