This has been a tough week for the Girls’ Tennis team. With three matches in a row the girls push themselves to try and win all of them. On Tuesday the girls played Montbello High School, Wednesday played Bear Creek High School, and on Thursday going against West High School on the home courts.

The game against Montbello was an easy match that the girls’ won with a score of 7-0. Junior #3 singles player Becca Hansen had one of the toughest matches for the team. “The wind was a difficulty to play with! It kept messing me up and it was getting very frustrating, but I am glad I was able to regain my composure and quickly learned how to play with the wind,” said Hansen

The next day the girls went to Bear Creek High School to play their fourth match of the season.  The girls came out with a disappointing loss, 2-5 against Bear Creel. The only people who were able to pull off   a win were #1 Doubles Catherine Ramirez and Kiara Wright and the #4 Doubles Marissa Olan and Brealle Cueva. “We had a really close match! The first set we won and the second set we were coming into a tie. Breaking the tie was the most stressful part, but we were able to get to it,” said Ramirez.

The girls are playing their match Thursday against the West on the TJ courts at 3:30!
