Name: Kristy Borza Sport: Tennis Year: Junior Major: Psychology… Name: Kristy Borza Sport: Tennis Year: Junior Major: Psychology Best movie you’ve seen recently: “Juno” Favorite food: “Kraft macaroni and cheese and venison, but besides that I’m a sugar freak.” Singles or doubles?: “Doubles. It’s like a breath of fresh air. You work with the other person and can really feed off that person’s energy. I may not be as good at it as I am with singles, but it’s my favorite.” Best tennis moment: “It would have to be when we beat West Virginia last weekend. I’ve never been that pumped and that nervous at a tennis match. Nothing can compare to jumping on top of the teammate that makes the winning shot.
It’s the closest thing we have to Ronald Ramon hitting the buzzer shot [during Pitt men’s basketball’s win over the Mountaineers earlier this season]. On the court they’re our biggest rivals.”
Favorite offseason activity: “I’m really good on medium level at ‘Guitar Hero.’ I guarantee I can beat any girl.”
Favorite athlete: “Kim Clijsters [a tennis player from Belgium.] She’s an all-around athlete and could be pro in anything. Also Jess Dignon [Pitt’s softball shortstop.]”
Spring break plans: “Going with the tennis team to La Jolla beach in California to play San Diego State and UC Riverside.
