Once they arrived on campus, they quickly fell for the team culture. The environment immediately gave them a built-in family, and the support of the athletic department quickly amplified their immediately evident drive and intelligence.
Even off the tennis court, their drive caught the school’s attention. Olga obtained her first internship through Maryland’s athletic department, a position in the university's business office which became a valuable experience for her budding economic career. The twins humbly attributed the turning points in their academic careers to those who helped them in the athletic department.
“At that time, I didn't have any internship experiences," Olga said. "It would have been hard to navigate this process of a job search. But it was a really positive experience.”
It helped her down the road as well.
“Maryland is in such a great location, so it was fun to participate in different events on campus and it was awesome to be near D.C.,” Olga said. “That helped to get my internship right after I got done with undergrad, and also D.C. is just a beautiful city with a lot of historical and cultural sites so it was just a fun place to be.”
Of course, Olga and Nataliya were killing it on the court as well.
Some of their favorite memories came during their first years on campus, including being part of a freshman-dominated team that defeated the Duke Blue Devils, a highly-ranked, heavily-favored collegiate rival. By their junior years, they were well acclimated off the court and found more than enough success on it. Nataliya notched multiple wins at major tournaments, while Olga notched the best record of her career at 20-12.
"When we got the opportunity to combine athletics and academics on a very high level, we didn't take it for granted," Nataliya said. "You really value how well everything is organized."
