NHS girls varsity tennis gains first win after visiting the U.S. Open
NORWICH – A week before they earned their first win at home the Norwich girls varsity tennis team enjoyed a nice outing with their head coach to a place many tennis athletes dream of competing at one day in their career.
John Stewart and members of the NHS girls varsity tennis team had the opportunity to attend the U.S. Open this past weekend in Flushing,NY. The team was able to watch professional players such as Rafael Nadal, Venus Williams, and Andy Murray, while also enjoying a concert held at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The trip was made possible by team fundraising and donations from the community sponsors.
After enjoying their time at the U.S. Open, Norwich returned with some vigor to their game, as they opened the season on August 30 against Johnson City at home.
“Norwich had its first STAC match of the season beating Johnson City 7-0. Norwich gave up only seven games totally dominating every position,” said coach Stewart. “Getting her first varsity singles win at fourth singles was senior Cierra Sherman. Also getting there first varsity win was the third doubles team of Natalie Benenati and Riley Marsh.”
It was in fact Makenzie Maynard at first singles who defeated Morgan Kallfeltz of Johnson City in crushing fashion at 6-0, 6-1. Second singles saw standout Caroline Stewart deliver much of the same fashion when she won over Amanda Sprague-Getsy of Johnson City, at 6-1, 6-0.
Third singles was Samantha Gage of Norwich who won over Kelly Wu of The Wildcats, as she won in strait sets a 6-0, 6-0 , blanking her.
Fourth singles was in fact Cierra Shermen who earned her first win over Hailey Harding when she earned a 6-2, before shutting her out for the second set at 6-0.
The three doubles teams for Norwich would prove to be just as dominate on the day over Johnson City.
First doubles team of Megan Burke and Brooke Steigerwald would earn the decisive win over Mallory Thorn and Tessa Convertino in two sets of 6-1, and 6-1.
The second doubles team of Ava Granquist and Olivia Granquist secured a team point for the Tornado over Sabrina Nordstrom and Andrea Sprague-Getsy at 6-1, and 6-0.
