On Thursday the Lady Pioneers defeated Hoosier Hills Conference foe Seymour 5 – 0. The match began after 5 PM on a very pleasant afternoon one of the better days for playing tennis that team has experienced this year, which was a big contrast to the match the previous year at Seymour. The ladies took advantage of the weather recording a sweep over a very good Seymour Owls tennis team.
Freshman Megan Jakoby, 3rd singles, had one of her best matches of the season winning 6-1, 6-1.
Senior Kady Bandy, 2nd singles, played an outstanding match with many very long points and won 6-1, 6-2 over a very solid player.
Junior Stephanie Smith, 1st singles, played an outstanding first set winning 6-0, but a very determined opponent pushed the second set, with Stephanie winning 7-5.
The number 1 doubles team of Emily DiNoto and Courtney Murphy continued to improved and beat a strong doubles team 6-4, 6-3. The team had an outstanding service day losing only one service game and breaking their opponents on the next game after the lost game. While the score was close they played with confidence.
The number 2 doubles team of Hanna Gish and Hillary Ernstberger had to rally in the first set coming back from 4 – 5 to win 7 – 5. They won the second set 6-4 with a very good effort. Hanna continues to have strong service games which create winners for the team.
Overall the team played one of their best matches of the season at every position. This is the 5th win in a row for the Lady Pioneers.
