Yesterday, September 22^nd, Dunn girls’ tennis ventured to Carpinteria to play in their second league match. Initially, the team was skeptical, not having played Carpinteria before, they anticipated a loss, little did they know what the outcome would be three and a-half hours later.

The team struggled in the beginning as all three doubles teams were well matched. Following a number of substitutions, the Earwigs were able to pull out a lead. Singles players Danielle Walker (sophomore), Tiffany Vanichvaroon (junior), and Hayley Harrison (senior), stayed strong through tense and long matches. Senior Ashley Song, and senior captain Audrey Volmer, played at number one doubles winning two of their three matches. Meanwhile at number two doubles, senior captain Julia Jones, and new sophomore Sunita Williams, won one of their two matches. 

After starting at number two doubles along with Katri Morrison-Goulias (freshman), new freshman Danielle McNally was substituted into number three singles where she won her match 6-0. Head coach Beth Brownson exclaimed, “She did so great! I really look forward to putting her in at number three singles. I think she’ll continue to play singles instead of doubles if she keeps playing like she did.” In a tie-breaking final match, junior Tiffany Vanichvaroon pulled out a win at 6-1. The team’s final score was 10-8. Dunn girls’ tennis now goes undefeated, and will be playing another match at home this Saturday against Besant Hill at 2pm. Come out and support!
