Martlets Win Big Over Wyverns
For the first time in many years, the Martlets defeated K-O 8-1. It was a hard-fought match up and down the ladder played on K-O's nice indoor courts and outside. All three doubles matches were competitive. Westminster jumped out to a strong start at No. 3, where Alex Wolf '19 and Lauren Way '20 went up 4-1. While their opponents played defensively and staged a comeback, the Martlets prevailed 8-5. At No. 2, Clara Ekholm '20 and Ellie Suit '20 exchanged games with their opponents for awhile but ultimately inched ahead. The Wyverns tied the match at 7-7 but the Black and Gold persevered to win 9-7. The No. 1 doubles match set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. Mary Kille '18 and Nat Wilson '18 got off to a slow start and were down as much as 5-1. Determined to get a "W" for the team and sweep the doubles, the Sixth Form captains clawed their way back with aggressive tennis at the net and the baseline. They rattled off seven straight games to win 8-5. In singles, maintaining control in matches No. 3 through No. 6, with Way, Suit, Ekholm and Maggie Chaves '19 all claiming victories for the Black and Gold. Olivia Zhang '20 found herself in a dogfight at No. 2. She started off down but maintained her composure against an athletic opponent with frustrating drop shots. Zhang ultimately pulled out the win 9-7. At No. 1, Kille jumped out to a 7-2 lead but her opponent crept back in the match and ultimately turned the tide resulting in the only loss for the Martlets. With two tough back-to-back matches, the team has earned a well-deserved long weekend before two more back-to-back contests next week.
