Girls Varsity Tennis Update

By Holly Gordon

            This past week, the Girls Varsity Tennis team played two matches. On the Monday following Spring Break, Varsity was put to the challenge, scheduled to play rivalry New Canaan. With a tough 3-4 loss, it was one of the closer matches they’ve played so far this season. This match was especially important for freshmen Pia Teschner, who played the deciding match. It was an extremely close game, Teschner losing 6-3 in the 3^rd set. Number 3 doubles team, senior Abby Becker and junior Kathryn Herz, won 6-2 4-1 after New Canaan retired. Freshmen Erika Gill and sophomore Claire Kelley also won both their matches.

Their next match was played on Tuesday April 24^th. The team took away an easy win, beating Stamford 7-0. Two days later, the girls challenged Trinity Catholic School at home. The final score was 6-0. Due to inclement weather, the last game of the match was cancelled.

“Greenwich and New Canaan are the teams to beat for us. We haven't done it in a while, but we always look forward to the tough competition,” junior Sarah Alptekin said.

With several new players and many more matches to go, the Varsity team is looking towards a successful spring season.
