The Pioneer's defeated Manual High School of Louisville, KY 5 – 0. The team was lead by number 1 singles player junior Stephanie Smith. She won 6-3, 7-5 over Sophia Brown. Stephanie played a very good match and was very focused, in the second set she fell behind 5 – 4 and rallied to win the last three games.
Senior Kady Bandy won 6-3, 6-1 over Ali Wright. Kady played an outstanding match in very windy conditions that really affected her game.
Freshman Megan Jakoby rallied in the first set to win 6-4 and an outstanding second set to win 6-1. Megan played one of her better matches of the season in defeating Casey Blair.
The number one doubles team of Emily DiNoto and Courtney Murphy had the longest match of the day lasting near three hours. They lost the first set 4-6 and rallied to win the second set in a tie breaker (7-5), they came out and played an outstanding third set with extremely aggressive play and good serving to win 6-2.
Number two doubles team of Hanna Gish and Hillary Ernstberger, rallied to win the first set and had strong performance in the second set to win 6-4, 6-4 over Molly Makela and Madison Fante. They played very strongly and were able to accomplish what assistant Scoot Gurgol suggested during side switches.
It was most like the best five matches as a team, everyone played outstanding tennis on a very hot and windy day. I was pleased to see how the players were able to rally after falling behind.
The girls also were able to have some fun during the day.
