Stacey Housley
Returning to NZ in September 2010. Stacey
(25) has been playing for Boise State University in the US on a full
scholarship to a Div 1 top 30 tennis program. She helped her team to
Championship conference matches and into the NCAA tournament. She held team
records for most wins with only losing 3 matches her Junior year and 2 in her
Senior year. She graduated with a Degree in Exercise Science and went on to
work as a certified personal trainer in a top Studio in the US and as a Manager
for a fitness equipment store. After being in the states for 6 years she made a
stop in Hong Kong working as a Tennis Professional at a private club for 10
months before finally returning home to pursue a career in business. As a
junior she played for both North Harbour and Auckland before settling with
North Harbour, winning numerous junior and super series tournaments. The last
time she played in New Zealand was back in 2007.
Christine Foote
Wonderful to have Christine return for her second year
at Mission Bay. Last year Christine was runner up in
the 16U Singles Nationals, she has impressive talent to burn. Last year Christine
also played in the NZ junior team in the Oceania Closed Champs in Fiji after the previous year winning
the 14U Singles National Hard-court and 16U Doubles National Hard-court titles.
Dana Gray
Recently turning 18 it’s great to have Dana return for her second season with Mission
Bay. Dana driving each week from Rotorua
is another of our young players with an impressive junior record. Last year she was the 16U National
Champion and 16U National Doubles Runner Up. Dana also represented the NZ
junior team in the Oceania Closed Champs in Fiji.
Captain - Wendy Owen
Is it great to have Wendy return for her second year this
time in the key role as team captain.
Wendy grew up in Whangarei and was a top NZ junior travelling to Auckland each week for Chelsea
Cup between the ages of 15 to 18 before getting a full playing scholarship at
the University of Hawaii. Now 27 Wendy is a key mentor for our
younger players. Wendy is
also about to complete her final exams in her Podiatry course.
