Intensity Coach Shows She's Got Game Intensity Coach Shows She's Got Game Intensity Coach Shows She's Got Game
Intensity Coach Shows She's Got Game Aurelie Udall hadn't played a tennis match in five years.

"The girls that I played were very good,'' said Aurelie, a Norwalk resident who works at Intensity Fitness and Tennis. "I had a plan, and once I got going, I was on a mission. It worked." Aurelie, 31, considers herself a coach more than a player these days. She has a 15-month-old son, Andreas, and her husband, Joe, teaches at Trailblazer…

The Wild Things needed to beat Peter's twice to capture the title. Jenn Cirino's two-run triple in the firs…
