  W 5-1

  Recap

  What a year it has been for JV! In this round, Nadia Stuart stepped in at #1s and delivered a punishing 4-1, 4-2 win. Maddi Felts in at #2s blistered her opponent in a 4-0, 4-2 win. Sarah Scheidler & Katie Guymon definitely gave coach his first gray hairs as this duo went out with an 0-4 first set loss. They then summoned their experience and took the second set 4-2. Brad Gilbert wrote an entire book called, “Winning Ugly.” I think this duo took out a full page ad and won their third set 5-3. Caroline Machala & Heidi Copple were persistent in their pursuit of a W tonight, spinning an unbelievable momentum switch 4-5(8) first set loss into a 4-1, 4-1 three set win. Gabby Croddy & Peyton Bean at #3d won their 5-4(1), 4-1. Sounds like a good week for some additional tiebreak practice!

  W 4-1.

  Recap

  This group is bolstering up some strong competition for the future lineup. Our coaches hope this nice group of players recognizes the important role that they play in the future of the Lady Trojan tennis program. Their willingness to follow in our seniors’ shoes and dedicate themselves to being the next face of the program will determine our fate. It became clear tonight that they will have some big shoes to face and whole ‘nother level to play to next year. What will the offseason hold?

  Winning was #2s Heidi Copple, #1d Nadia Stuart & Katie Guymon, #2d Maddi Felts & Gabby Croddy, & #3d Zizi Wuensch & Peyton Bean. The most exciting part of the night came watching these freshman play at #3d. What coachable gals and more exciting to think, will a future #1s player come from one these two?

  Guerin Catholic

  L 1-4

  Recap

  Our only win was at 5 doubles by Lele and Sylvie. This was Guerin’s 6th match of the season and only our first. Guerin had 24 girls and no singles players. Therefore, our two singles players ended up playing doubles together in the number 2 spot. Two good singles players do not necessarily make a good doubles team (which I knew…) Lineup: Sarah S & Mel J (1-8) (6-3), Merritt & Monica (0-8), (1-5), Elena & Leah ((2-8),(6-1), Lilli & Sarah G (0-8), (4-6), Lele & Sylvie (8-5), (6-1). Things to work on for everyone: Court awareness (getting balls from other courts), returning harder serves, staying out of no man’s land and being in position, looking forward when up at the net, remembering basics at net (squeeze and freeze, not swinging), knowing the score at all times and calling for help when needed, giving praise to the other team “good serve, nice shot”, being more active on the court, talking to your partner. Guerin’s 1-3 doubles were very tough, hard serves, and consistent.

  Park Tudor

  W 3-2

  Recap

  The girls pulled off a great victory against Park Tudor (away) on Monday, April 29th with a 3-2 score. Our losses came at #1 and #2 singles against very tough competitors. Merritt Jaeger played 1S and lost 3-8. The score was not reflective of how evenly the match was played. Lots of great rallies. Serves were where many points were won or lost. Monica Szentes lost 0-8. She too struggled with her serves and mentally got down on herself. The PT player was very consistent, used lots of topspin, and was a strong server. Mel Jansen & Sarah Starliper (1D) won 8-5. Both girls were aggressive and served well. Elena Mazzei & Leah Brown played smart tennis to win 8-4. They played to the opponents’ weaknesses. At 3D, Sarah Gramling & Elly Spalding won 8-5. Great chemistry b/t our players and Elly served well. Lely Nguyen & Sylvie Kramer remain undefeated and easily won 6-1. Lele also played singles and won 6-0. As a team, we need to work on: having two balls when serving, never giving up on a point until it’s finished, more talking between players, (back playing saying Switch).

  North Central

  L 3-4

  Recap

  The girls played a hard fought match against a very strong and competitive NC team. BCHS lost 3-4 but Coach was very proud of how well everyone played! This was also the first time we played the best 2 out of three 3 sets with 10 point tiebreaker for 3rd. We lost 1-3 singles to experienced players. Merritt Jaeger at #1 singles lost 0-6, 0-6. Her opponent hit consistently hard topspin shots and placed them all over the court. She was a super player. Merritt’s serves held her back but she stayed in the rallies. Elly Spalding played #2S and lost 3-6, 2-6. This was Elly’s first singles match of the season. Elly moved well on the court but her opponent was simply a better player that day. Monica Szentes, 3S, lost 0-6, 1-6 to an opponent who’s first serve was Varsity level. The NC player had lots of topspin and was very experienced. Lele Nguyen, 4S, won 7-5, 6-3. One doubles with Mel Jansen & Sarah Starliper was a very exciting match and showed how mental the game of tennis is for players. Scores were 3-6, 6-4, 12-10 TB. The girls dug deep and got fired up to win the second set and their confidence helped pull out the W. Elena Mazzei & Leah Brown struggled at 2D to overcome the mental hurdles and lost 2-6, 3-6. Sarah Gramling & Sylvie Kramer won at 3D 6-1, 9-7. They had a lot of fun playing together. Overall we need to work on returning harder serves, hitting through the ball for more consistency, and staying tough mentally.

  Cathedral

  Tie, Place 3-3

  Recap

  Oh, how I wish we would’ve had an additional matchup so that we could’ve had a win over Cathedral! Instead, it was a 3-3 draw with the Irish sweeping Singles and the Trojans winning doubles. Lele Nyugen hesitantly played 3S and lost 4-8. I was impressed with her tenacity because she was down 0-4 and could’ve easily given up. Many games went to deuce over and over. For someone who did not want to play singles on that day, she really hung in there. At 2 singles Elly Spalding lost 1-8 to a seasoned player who hit with power and consistency. Merritt Jaeger lost at 1 Singles, 3-8, against a player who had her own cheering section. Sometimes that is hard to overcome. We need to continue working on being mentally tough and getting in shape to outlast our opponents. Sarah Starliper and Mel Jansen had a decisive win at 1 Doubles (8-2) with tough serves and aggressive net play. Leah Brown and Elena Mazzei did a nice job talking to one another as partners and calling the ball during this 2 Doubles match to overpower their opponents (8-2). Sarah Gramling and Sylvie Kramer played 3 doubles against a Cathedral trio, who rotated players every game, and won 8-4.

  It was a decisive win for the Trojans over LN with a 5-0 sweep. Merritt had the closest match at 8-4 at 1S. Elly easily won 8-2 at 2S. Monica quickly won her 3S match for 8-0. Mel and Sarah at 1D won 8-3 and Sylvie and Lele played well together at 2D to win 8-2. It was fantastic to win on all 5 courts! First time for that.

  Carmel Invite

  Place 7th out of 8th

  Recap

  This was the girls’ first tournament and we had a few firsts as well as takeways. 1. We need to demonstrate good sportsmanship no matter the outcome of the match. Be gracious in winning as well as losing. Great lesson to carry with us no matter what we’re doing. 2. A few doubles’ teams were distracted by coaches/parents/players yelling and cheering and let that interfere with their play. We need to channel our inner Elsa and “Let it Go”. 3. We had an adaptive singles tennis match where the player in the wheelchair gets two bounces. What an inspiration!

  Recap

  Who could ask for a better way to end our season than by playing alongside the Varsity/JV team and coming away with a win on a beautiful spring day! All 5 reserve teams won their matches after patiently waiting to take the courts. Monica played 3 Singles to win 6-3 at 9:20 p.m. Sarah & Mel were 3D and came back to win 8-5. Merritt and Elly loved playing doubles (4) together and dominated their court for an 8-2 win. At 5D, Leah & Elena once again had great teamwork to win 8-3. Sylvie and Lele rounded out our sweep by winning 8-2. Team bonding on the hour-long bus ride was awesome to witness. What a fantastic group of girls!
