Portland Tennis falls to Williamston

Portland Girls Varsity Tennis opened their season at Williamston Tuesday. Williamston competed hard and earned their 6-2 defeat over Portland. With not a lot of “court time” during our early season practices due to weather conditions, the team went into the match knowing every point was a learning opportunity. While the “W” column didn’t garner a notch this match, the team benefitted from being on the court and in match play. Each player, returning and new varsity team members, walked off the court with determination to meet new goals for their next match. Those are the important, defining moments in the early season that will push the team to continually work hard to improve.

Winning match shout outs go to 1 singles, Alyssa Jack, for her 6-2, 6-2 victory and 2 singles, Adriana Krieger, for her 6-3, 6-3 victory. An additional nod of recognition is given to 4 singles, CeCe Little, for her incredible second set effort in an attempt to take her opponent to three sets.
