The ConVal Girl’s Tennis Team fell to Windham 1-8 away on Thursday, April 12th, on a cloudy and occasionally drizzly afternoon.

The team was down one of our top 4 players and all singles lines lost.  Players were Julia Peters, Natasha Kipka, Natalie LaFleur, Catrina Kipka, Jill Karlicek and Jade Bailey.  Julia and Natasha fought back late in their respective matches but lost 4-8 and 3-8.

The match of the day was #1 doubles: Julia and Natasha played Taryn Livingstone and Jess Thibodeau from Windham, their #1 and #2 players.  There were several long points which included amazing net play by Julia, good rundowns by Natasha and some great put-away shots by both. All players were on serve until the ConVal team broke serve making the score 6-5.  Natasha then won her serve, Windham won their next service game and then Julia served for the match. Final score was 8-6.

Catrina and Jill played #2 doubles and LaFleur sisters, Natalie and Lena, played third.

Our next match is on Tuesday at home vs. Milford.
