Lancaster defeats Trojans

We faced some stiff competition from Lancaster tonight. They are a team that plays pretty strong from top to bottom and are probably the hot team in the area so far this year. They have recorded wins over Fort Mill and Clover thus far and look to be clicking on all cylinders right now.


We had a couple close matches with Maggie Orr at 2 singles and our 2 doubles team of Kayla Stogner & Courtney Cox, but for the most part we struggled to win games consistently. I hope that we all remember these results today and take pride the next time around in having a stronger all around showing and securing a team win.

On the plus side tonight, things look bright in our future as we were successful in many of our JV matches against Lancaster. Hillary Tindall & Emily Edwards had a dominant 8-2 win in doubles. Allison Jenkins also was successful with an 8-3 singles victory. Katherine Keener was also successful in notching a singles W with an 8-2 score. And to clinch a JV victory for us by team score of 4-2 were Erin Brooks and Caroline Herron in a close match that was decided 9-7 in the end for the Trojans.

We'll regroup and head over to Gaffney tomorrow for our first Region match of the year.

Go Trojans!
