Girls JV tennis team started the spring season with a match
against Greenwich High School this past week on Wednesday, April 3rd
at Greenwich’s Binney Park at approximately 4:00pm. Overall, Darien lost 2-8. Conditions
were not ideal for the girls’ match on Wednesday. Strong winds and slightly
colder temperatures did not make play easy for both teams.
In Darien tennis history, Greenwich High School has been a
very strong team and every year, both Darien boys and girls tennis teams have
found them hard to beat. In the past, both girls varsity and junior varsity
have rarely won against Greenwich High School.
Despite the poor conditions and difficult competition,
Darien did well, winning two matches, against Greenwich. One of the two
victorious Darien doubles teams was sophomore Elizabeth Moore and freshman
Emma Weinberg.
“I think we did really well based on the weather. It was our
first match and it was good start to the season,” Moore said.
In addition to Wednesday’s match, the girls JV team determined
this year’s captains. The entire team voted junior Kiki Martin and sophomore
Elizabeth Moore captains for this spring.
Support the JV girls tennis team and attend their next match
on Monday, April 8th at 4:00pm at Weed Beach in Darien!
