Whether it's little league, high school, college, or pros, most sports teams have a go to player. For the conference champion Santa Monica College women's tennis team, that was Mary Katherine Ashmore.

Born and raised in Rome, Georgia, Ashmore is nothing short of a tennis prodigy. Ranked as high as tenth in the nation as a 10-year-old, it didn't take long for her to figure out there was a future for her on the tennis court.

"I started playing when I was two. I started walking, and grabbed a racquet," said Ashmore. "My cousin, my second Mom pretty much, she was a tennis pro so I grew up playing with her every single day."
