“The girls played great and had a really good week of tennis which is exciting as we move closer to the postseason. I am very proud of these young girls as the win takes their record to 11-2 on the season and undefeated in the region. Makaylee Nelson also got in on the action playing a singles match and showing improvement from the beginning of the season,” said Head Coach Chaz Adams.
