Drop Shots: Lindsay Hung
12/11/2019 10:56 AM | Women's Tennis
Sophomore Lindsay Hung made an immediate impact her freshman year for Utah, playing mainly in the No. 4 singles position. Hung recorded a 9-7 overall record last season in singles and went 4-7 in doubles play. Now in her second year with the Utes, Hung began her fall slate at the SDSU Classic and reached the singles final in Flight A after winning her first two matches. At the ITA Mountain Region Championships, Hung put together a solid run and reached the round of 16. Hung and partner Madeline Lamoreaux also had a great doubles showing at ITA's and won three straight matches to earn a spot in the quarterfinal round, where their run eventually ended.Â
Get to know more about Ute sophomore Lindsay Hung:
When did you first start playing tennis and why?
"I first started playing tennis when I was about six or seven. I started playing because my mom had to work a lot and she would always drop me off at tennis camp."
Â
What was tennis like at a young age for you?Â
"Growing up playing tennis, I traveled to a lot of tournaments that were all over the United States. The first time I traveled out of state was when I was 11 years old, and then I started going to the East coast, down South, and the Midwest."
Â
In high school, you were a high school All-American and a three-time league champion. What was that experience like?
"It felt really good. It wasn't so much of a team aspect, but I was happy that I was able to accomplish somethig like that and push myself. My goal at the end of my college career is to be an All-American too, so I'm going to work really hard towards that."
Â
Why did you decide to come to the University of Utah? What stuck out about the U compared to other schools you were interested in?
"I've always wanted to go to a school that experiences the four seasons and Utah has all of those. I'm really big into football and other sports as well and our athletics are pretty high-caliber. I also liked the atmosphere and school pride."
Â
What was the biggest adjustment for you during your freshman year moving from California to Utah?
"The biggest adjustment was not being able to see my family every day and having to start over. It was a new chapter of my life. I had to meet new people and also adjust to the weather. Living on my own was a huge thing too, and I felt like I was just thrown into adulthood really fast."
Â
After your first year of action as a Ute, what were some of your biggest takeaways?
"I would say that one of the biggest takeaways was being able to travel with my team. My team is like my family and we have been able to get so close. I've found some of my forever friends here and they definitely make it easier with being away from my family."
Â
What is something that you would like to accomplish before you graduate from the University of Utah?
"For school, it would probably be getting a master's degree in sports management. For our team, I want us to make the NCAA tournament and make it far. That's a huge goal for us right now. I would also like to become an All-American and want to leave here knowing that I'll be remembered."
Â
Is there a certain career you would like to achieve with those?
"Since I was little, I have always been very passionate about sports. I would like to one day work for a professional sports team as a marketing director. I just want to be a part of something like that and it would be very cool to be a part of the sports industry. Being an athlete now, I feel like I could bring a lot of insight and use the things that I'm learning right now and apply them to my career."
Â
When you aren't playing tennis, what're some things that you like doing in your free time? Hobbies?
"When I'm in Utah, I like to go on drives up the canyons, hangout with my friends, and go to see the snow. When I'm back home in California, I like to go to the beach, be outside, and just chill out because I don't get to do a lot of that anymore."
