Sumner’s girls tennis team served up beat downs this week, defeating Steilacoom and White River high schools and bringing their season record to 3-0.
The team won over White River Monday, March 19, afternoon by 3-2.
“This was one of the closest matches I have ever been a part of,” coach Chris Heacox said. “We were losing 2-1 after Autumn (Jacobsen) won and first singles and third doubles lost. First and second doubles were both losing the third set 4-5, so one more game for either White River team and we would have lost the team match. Luckily both our doubles teams won some big points to come back and win the third set 7-5.”
Steilacoom presented a wider victory margin at 4-1.
Miriam Tuma won first singles with 6-1, 6-0 in her matches.
Jacobsen lost second singles by a hair at 6-1, 3-6, 4-6.
First doubles were taken by Kyla Anderson and Jasmin Babcock, 7-6, 6-0.
Second doubles were won by Kaitlin Drenne and Sarah Layton, 6-3,6-3.
Jessica Silone and Samantha Walsh won third doubles 6-1, 7-5.
The team played at Clover Park today. Details are forthcoming from that match.
