Stevenson’s season begins with “amazing”

The 10-0 record is certainly an “amazing start to the season,” as Stevenson girls tennis coach Jose Morales said.

In addition to a complete 10 starts, the Morales Patriots recently won the Fremd invitation. Sarah Wang was 10-0 in 1 matches and played one match in No. 2, while Abby Ma started in 9-0 in No. 2 singles (she also had doubles in No. 2).

“Sarah Wang is an excellent single player who had only dropped one game before the match against Lake Forest,” Morales pointed out.

Patriots No. 1 double team Ainika Hou and Sonia Mehta were 8-2 between their first 10 matches. “Ainika and Sonia have had many battles in duel No. 1,” Morales said. “They fight like no other and fight all the way to the last point.”

Warren update:

Warren improved his two-encounter record to 8-0 with sweeps in all places in Lakes and Zion-Benton.

In a recent Buffalo Grove call, Kaija Johnson and Elizabeth Payson won the No. 2 doubles championship, while singles Anastasia Radovic and Peyton Mueller also performed strongly there. Coach Vince DeSecki also mentioned the recent strong game from the dual team of Shannon Mahoney and Jaya Ganapath.

Antioch update:

Senior Natalie Labicki may be 11-3 in No. 1 matches, but Sequoits coach Jamie D’Andrea said his extreme value to the team extends beyond the courts.

“Natalie encourages her teammates, offers a ride and advice to anyone on the program who needs it,” she said. “He decided to get a‘ middle bag. ’While all of these may be small gestures in themselves, they together make a difference in the world as students navigate remembering how school, sports and personal life are balanced after last year’s COVID year. the program is therefore exponentially better. “

Labicki won the Grayslake Central Ram invitation recently and was second in the Cary-Grove series. Antioch started a 2-0 NLCC win against Grant and Wauconda. Two singles and three doubles teams medalized at Grayslake.

Carmel update:

Corsairs interim coach Gina Borkowski likes how senior Colleen Ryan and junior Mary Titterton’s No. 1 double team have played so far. “They’re both aggressive in the starting position and want to attack the network when given the right conditions,” he said. “They’re competitive players and they’ve had some really tough matches that didn’t go in our favor against Warren and Loyola. Nevertheless, a tough fight.”

Junior Emily Fix has moved from doubles to No. 2 singles. “It was an adjustment, but he gets to the occasion every week,” Borkowski noted. “He’s a skilled football player and a natural, overall incredibly talented athlete.”

Senior veteran Alex Monroe continues to succeed in singles No. 1. “Alex can fight the best,” Borkowski said. “He’s a smart player.”

Grayslake North Update:

Bella Moran started 11-0 in match # 2 when Meg George was 8-3, in single place and Elyse Gawerecki was also 8-3 when it was third.

“Meg Georg has had very tough matches and competitors this year,” interim head coach Ashley Kopecky said. “His tenacity and calm demeanor are the guiding factors in his game. He has a steady form and excellent work ethic that wants to compete in all matches. He has been the dominant figure in our lineup.”

George was second in the No. 1 series of the North Crossstown tournament last weekend.

Lakes update:

Lakes recorded recent wins against Waukegan (7-0) and Johnsburg (4-3) and dropped a 4-3 NLCC match near Grant that dropped to 2 points in the third set draw. Juniors Katie Sarver and Nayomi Lotko are 5-2 in doubles, while fourth Lakes No. 3 from Sophia Stolarick and senior Danica Cruz are 4-2 in the final six. “Three matches before they lost in the match,” coach Bryan Plinske pointed out. “Their success is due to communication and playing with each other’s strengths. Their communication is fantastic. It’s teamwork at its best.”

Rams recently won his own Grayslake Central / North tournament. Senior Karishma Bhalla, who returns to the state qualifiers, will start 8-0 this season, while returning state qualifiers Grace Caldwell and Aviva Krill were 7-1 in their first eight matches. “Hopefully everyone will repeat in the state qualifiers,” coach Chuck Lawson said.
