The Varsity Girls Tennis Team defeated St. Luke's 8-1 on Monday afternoon, improving their season record to 8-4 at the midway point of the regular season. Ann-Dyas Thompson and Victoria Rizk both won long and very even matches to lead UMS-Wright to the victory.  Coach Meridy Jones said, "I am so proud of the persistance these two girls showed in our match today.  AD won in a tiebreaker, and V won 8-6.  After giving such a great effort to win their singles matches, they paired up and won on their doubles court too."



 

 

After dropping their first match of the year to Montgomery Academy, the girls rattled off 6 consecutive wins.  Four of the six were 9-0 sweeps, and the streak included a 6-3 win over McGill-Toolen.  The Bulldogs are 2-0 in 4A-5A Section 1 matches with wins over Orange Beach (9-0) and St. Michael (9-0).  The Sectional Tournament is just over a month away, and the girls have several important Section matches remaining in the regular season.  Next up for UMS-Wright is a trip to Elberta on Thursday (weather permitting!) .
