Undefeated Seton Saints down Norwich at 7-0 despite improved Tornado play
NORWICH – Norwich tennis lost yet another matchup with Seton Catholic Central, getting swept again at 7-0.
However, when the match is truly observed, one can see that some major improvements have been made for Norwich.
“From a match score point we didn’t win a point but we sure played hard. Seton came in thinking this was going to be easy,” said Norwich head coach John Stewart. “Based on the first match where we only won 14 games total. Tonight, we took 37 plus games, with two tie-breakers. We played a good match tonight against an undefeated Seton team. We have improved so much individually.”
Seton Catholic moves to a perfect 10-0 on the season, leading the STAC East Division for 2017 thus far – two of Norwich’s now three losses have come at the hands of Seton.
“First and second doubles both had the closest matches of the night. First doubles lost the first set in a tie-breaker. We had a set point on them but could not convert. In the second set, we were up 4-3 and the Seton team came from behind to take the next three games,” said coach Stewart.
At first doubles, Anna Korchak and Amanda Bucko downed Norwich’s Riley Marsh and Natalie Benenati with scores of 7-6 (4), 6-4. At second doubles, Imisi Ademoyo and Rose Kane defeated Katie Gawronski and Parker Walsh after a battle resulting in a score of 6-4, 4-6, 10-7.
“Second doubles was a battle from the start. We played high end doubles. In the third set tie-breaker, the score was 6-6. We hit some awesome shots but Seton came back with just a little bit better ones. Seton took the tie breaker 10-7,” said coach Stewart.
Despite the one forfeit loss for Norwich at third singles – the lady Tornado lost the remaining team points by actual matches played.
Alina Galyon defeated Caroline Stewart in straight sets at 6-4, 6-3. Megan Burke of Norwich dropped her match at second doubles, by a score of 6-1 and 6-0 to Seton’s Claire Loughlin. Fourth doubles – following the third doubles forfeit – Nikki Crowley defeated Ava Granquist in straight sets at 6-4 and 6-1.
Rounding out the evening was the play at third doubles – where Norwich duo, Logan Fredenburg and Erica Gage fell to Grace Snyder and Julianna Miller by a score of 6-1 and 6-2.
Norwich tennis (8-3 overall), will now hold their final match of the season, their senior night celebrations, on Thursday, September 28, at 4 p.m. The senior night celebrations will be held prior to the Thursday match.
“Overall, everyone played well and hard. I was really proud of our play tonight,” said coach Stewart.
