fashion accessory company. Though she studied sports medicine at UVa and considered going to medical school, she decided to pursue marketing and social media with her Virginia education, something she thinks her ten- nis career prepared her for. "I'm trying to go more into business and start my own business someday, so I'm trying to get some experience being involved in that," Fraser said. "I see a lot more of a connection between the business world and the athletics world and I have a great interest in that." Now that it is over, her time at UVa is something she said she'll cherish and look back on as she moves away from the tennis court and into the business world. "I can honestly say it's been the greatest four years of my life," she said. "The amount of growth I've experienced from coming here from my first year to my fourth year was incredible, not just on the tennis court. I've made so many relationships with people. "I just can't say enough about how grateful I am to the university and to everyone who allowed me the opportunity to be here and compete on schol- arship for four years. Without them I would never have been here, so it has really meant to the world to me. I'm really going to miss it a lot." Those around the Cavalier tennis program will certainly miss her as well. ◆ BEST OF THE REST 1.
