On May 5th the Williamston girl’s tennis team traveled to Pennfield to play another top ten Division One opponent. The Lady Hornets came away with a convincing 7-1 win. “The score doesn’t tell the entire story,” said Coach Stanley, “the Pennfield girls deserve their number 8 ranking. There were two three set matches and tie breakers on three courts. This was a close match,” he added. “Our players were smart today, they played the big points with poise, made great strategy adjustments and demonstrated excellent tennis skills,” he ended. The Hornets improved their season dual record to 10-2.
Tiffany Ash led the way with a three set win at number one singles. Allyson Nash followed with a two set victory at number two singles after struggling in the second game of the second set. “I told Coacher I wasn’t feeling very well after the first set,” said Allyson. “He suggested I inhale through my nose and exhale through my mouth. I think I did that too many times as I got faint and started seeing black spots,” she said.
“She’s right,” said Coacher. “It was definitely my fault,” he laughed. “Fortunately, John (the Pennfield coach) was really good about it and gave Allyson a chance to sit down, eat a little and regain her strength. Her opponent was really nice about it as well. Allyson finished strong winning the second set 6-2.
Miranda Vorce won her match at four singles in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5.
The doubles teams swept through the match with Anya Nikolai and Sarah Vogel winning at number one doubles, Sandra Suryak and Katherine Noren at number two doubles, Olivia Green and Erin Donovan protected their undefeated season (15-0) at number three doubles; and Aubree Barton and Erin Graham won easily at number four doubles 6-1, 6-0. Mattie Nelson lost her match at three singles in three sets, 3-6, 6-2, 6-0.
