The Williamston Hornets girls’ tennis team traveled to CAAC White Division rival Lansing Catholic for the first league match of the 2009 season. The Hornets returned with a solid 7-1 victory. The Hornets won all four doubles flights and three of four singles.
The number one doubles team of Anya Nikolai and Mattie Nelson had their first hiccup of the year going three sets before sealing the victory, 6-0, 4-6, 6-3. “We starting missing all of our shots in the second set,” said Anya. “I guess it is okay as we need some experience in coming from behind to win matches. We changed our strategy in the third set and that seemed to get our opponents out of their rhythm and helped us win it.”
Number two doubles, Erin Donovan and Audrey Porter had an easier time winning 6-0, 6-1. Number three doubles, Erin Graham and Aubree Barton won 6-0, 6-3, and Cara Steinberg and Leah Vargovich chipped in a win at four doubles, 6-2, 6-2.
Tiffany Ash continued on her roll with a solid 6-0, 6-3 win at one singles. Claire Cooper won at two singles 6-2, 6-2. Gabby Meijer contributed a convincing win at three singles 6-4, 6-0. Erica Krantz lost at four singles 6-1, 6-0.
The win improved the Hornets record to 5-0 and 1-0 in the CAAC.
