Girls Varsity Tennis vs Laguna Blanca

September 28, 2022

Cate girls tennis got back to their winning ways after a narrow defeat by Foothill Tech, taking a resounding 15-3 win over Laguna Blanca on Tuesday in Hope Ranch.

The win was spearheaded by a nearly blemishless performance from the Cate singles lineup. Alyna Takahashi ’24, Frances Davis ’24, and Ellie Tunnell ’23 dropped just six games combined and Takahashi moved to 9-0 on the season in Tri-Valley League play.

In doubles, Cate’s #2 doubles team of Sophie Alijani ’24 and Claire Bianchi ’26 swept their sets 7-5, 6-3, 6-2. Ella ’23 and Colette Chang ’25 were 2-1 on the day, while Athena Ke ’23 and Annie Chian ’24 added a win in the final round.

Cate is finished with matchplay for the week but will face San Marcos, Thacher, and Providence all in the first four days of next week.
