The CSW Girls' Tennis team lost a tough match to the Rivers JV squad by a score of 3 - 5 on Monday, April 28. Despite losing the overall match, the team played well and showed a tremendous amount of heart and great determination in their efforts.
 
In the #1 singles match, Sara Bakalchuk '15 played for 2 exhausting hours, losing the first set by a score of 4-6 but winning the second set in a tiebreaker. This was a tremendous tennis match with neither player willing to give an inch. At the end, Sara really dug down deep and played tough, and with the set tied 6-6, ultimately prevailed in the tiebreaker by a score of 7-3. In the #2 singles match, Maya Barnes '17 continued her winning ways by defeating her opponent in both sets by scores of 6-3 and 6-4. This was also a very exciting match that could have gone either way, with many long extended rallies, but ultimately Maya came out on top. In the #3 singles match, Simenesh Semine '17 lost both sets to her Rivers opponent by scores of 2-6 and 1-6, but displayed her usual grit and determination, staying positive throughout the match.
 
In the #1 doubles Anne Hittson '14 and Leila Burnham '15 lost their match by a score of 5-8 and in the #2 doubles match Zhuoran Yu '15 and Michaela Kahn lost by a score of 1-8. Both of our doubles teams played well and should be commended for their efforts.
