After a tough match against Curry, finally beating Colby Sawyer, and finishing second in the conference, I know this year the women’s tennis team can go all the way and win the conference.
Playing Curry College on October 5th, as a team, we proved we can win any match. Falling fast in the doubles, down 0-3 in the match, we knew we had our work cut out for us. Coming back in the singles, as the sun went down, we tied Curry 4-4. It was literally a sight for the deciding match of Olivia Hilton at 5th singles had to be moved to inside courts down the road. Since Curry didn’t have lights and Olivia split sets with her opponent, she had to finish the final set indoors for the match. She pulled through, beating her opponent and winning us the match, well-deserved. We worked hard through that match, refusing to loose, the whole team contributing to the win. We then knew we could do anything.
After that match, Colby-Sawyer seemed to be a breeze, for we defeated them 8-1 to clinch our 2nd spot in the conference. Just two days ago (Tuesday the 12th), we won our first playoff match against WNEC taking two of the doubles and immediately 3 of the singles for the first to 5 to win the match. We are now ready for the semifinals next Wednesday, and then moving on to the finals on October 23rd.
Our team has come such a long way, always working hard, and looking to improve. We put our hearts into the game, leaving everything we have on the court. We deserve to win the conference and have proved that we certainly can. Come support our women’s tennis! GO HAWKS!
