WILMINGTON — The Wilmington High School tennis team defeated Stivers School for the Arts 4-1 Monday in a non-league match on the WHS courts.
Wilmington (7-6) had just one match that was close, the first singles battle where Layna Holmes lost a heartbreaker 7-5, 0-6, 8-10.
“This was a good outing for us,” WHS coach Doug Cooper said. “Layna played really well, coming from being down 2-5 in the first set to winning it 7-5. The momentum left just as it came and the third set super tiebreaker was close the whole way with ties at 3-3, 6-6, and 8-8. Saunier placed third overall at our invitational last month. She’s a good player. Layna is our warrior…she never quits.”
