Her name is Ledis Molina,“not the vegetable” senior Anelisse Torrico Moreno jokes on the first day of the women’s tennis championship tournament. Seniors Ani and Ledis became friends after messaging on Facebook before Ani even joined the team. Ani questioned coming to Missouri State but credits Ledis for convincing her to play.
“I started talking to Ledis and then she explained everything about Missouri State, the team and that she was having a really good experience,” Ani said. “It sounded like a great place to be, and she wasn’t wrong.”
When Ani eventually came to Missouri, Ledis could no longer play.
