Early Season Success Continues For Spartans
by Keenan Moore
The girls’ tennis team continued their dominance over league opponents by devastating Lincoln 6-1.
The girls were coming off of a strong performance against South and looked to continue their success. West had brought some tough matches as the girls only won by one set their last meeting. However, with a restructured team, things would not prove to be the same, as the girls seemed to strike fast, winning their first two games. The third set seemed to be different as West rebounded strongly winning the next game. This would be as close as the Cowboys would get as the Spartans ran away with the doubles matches. The Spartans won all three of the doubles matches and over the whole season have lost just one game in doubles. Hopefully this trend continues as the season continues for the Spartans.
As the season has progressed, the players have started to notice something special about the team. They have outscored their opponents 19-2 in their matches thus far. In most of the matches in the Spartans have lost just one of their sets. This means that the number of sets won is even a bigger difference than the total points. This is one of the better early seasons that the Spartans have enjoyed in many years. The last time that the Spartans had this good of an early season, they finished up in second place in the Denver Prep League, just barely falling behind George Washington. The girls hope the streak they are on now doesn’t stop any time soon and they are able to compete with powerhouse teams such as East and George Washington.
The Spartans next game is this Thursday against North at North at 4.
