Girls Tennis
Your 2019 girl's tennis season came to an end this weekend, but not before making an improbable run into the state championship match where we finished as state runner up behind Xavier.
The girls finished the regular season ranked #4 in state, went 14-4 overall, won the CUSD Invitational back in April, and ultimately made it further in state than any other team before them.
Congratulations to all of them, and thank you to seniors Anisha Agarwal, Katie Dussault, Daniela Gonzalez, Nisha Kalmadi and Hannah Szoke for all of their hard work this year and over the past 4 years.
We will get back to the state championship again next year and give it another crack!
