Categories:

Highlands picked up a tight 3–2 win over Beechwood on April 23, with matches staying close throughout. Both singles and doubles had competitive points, and a lot of sets could’ve gone either way, but Highlands came through when it mattered most.

 Highlands won all three singles matches to secure the victory. Madison Hosea (12)  took first singles 6-4, 6-1, while Christina Truta (9) won a close second singles match 7-6, 6-4. Elena Shadwell (11) also added a win in third singles with a tight 8-6 finish.

 Doubles matches were competitive as well, but Highlands’ strong singles performances made the difference in the end.
