The Northgate High School Girls Varsity Tennis team is making waves early in the season with an impressive 7–1 record. The Broncos reached the finals of the prestigious Logan Tournament, defeating defending NCS champion Dublin along the way.
Other marquee victories include wins over San Ramon Valley, Alameda, Lick-Wilmerding of San Francisco, and Bishop O’Dowd from Oakland, highlighting the team’s depth and resilience.
A trio of standout freshmen — Anna Yang, Anulika Mishra, and Peyton Wu — have quickly established themselves as key contributors in the starting lineup, adding new energy to an already talented roster. Currently ranked No. 6 in the UTR power rankings, Northgate is well-positioned to qualify for the Open Division at NCS, a testament to their strong play on the courts.
Off the court, the team credits its chemistry and leadership for fueling their success. Captains Mia Thompson, Shriti Dham, Greer Swanson, and Karina Shteyn have kept spirits high with creative team-bonding events that bring the group closer together.
The Broncos will look to carry their momentum into league play, opening at home on September 16 in a highly anticipated rivalry match against Las Lomas.
