JV Girls Tennis Update


By Holly Gordon

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!
