Tennis Results

Providence Girls Tennis Team has played three dual matches winning two and losing the other one 2 to 3 to Bedford North Lawrenced (ranked at the time). They came in second at the New Albany Invitational losing by four points to the host schools. Both schools had the same record, Providence had 2 firsts (undefeated) a second (lost int he finals) and two players/teams who lost in the first round and won the remaining matches (one lost each). New Albany had the same records but their two losses came in the second round instead, therefore they finished third and our girls finished 4th. Jacqueline Hollkamp won at first singles as did the number 1 doubles team of Hillary Ernstberger and Kelsey Haas. Megan Jakoby finished second at number 2 singles. Tori Bongantino finshed 4th at number 3 singles and number 2 doubles finished 4th, composed of Kara Garcia and Maggie Bremmer. During the Jasper tournament most players got in two matches before the rain struck. We had some very good performances but no brackets completed all their matches...thus no final standings.

The Pioneers will host their own tournament on April 29th at Community Park in New Albany. The tournament will feature teams from Christian Academy of Indiana, Southwestern, Gibson Southern, Corydon and Providence. Matches begin at 10 AM.

The Junior Varsity team played well at Jasper and defeated South Central in a dual match.
