Staples Girls Tennis is enjoying an impressive season, currently holding a record of 10-1, with their only loss coming at the hands of the Greenwich Cardinals. In their most recent match on Thursday, May 8th where they hosted Danbury High School, the team had to pause mid-match due to a mandatory delay due to the threat of lightning.
PIctured above, freshman Olivia Lazar (L) readies to fire a backhand, junior Isabel Alfageme (next and last) was a force at the net scoring multiple points on volleys, and senior Maddie Hendley returns a serve with a backhand shot.
The break did nothing to slow the Staples momentum and they left the courts with a decisive 6-1 victory. Their multiple strong performances continue to showcase the team's dedication and skill on the court as they strive for success in the upcoming FCIAC tournament.
Above, solid forehands by Lazar (L), junior Rachel Guzman, sophomore Dylan Leher and an overhead by Alfageme.
