Martlets Defeat Miss Porter's

The top of the ladder brought home the bacon today, as the girls secured their first win. Chandler Green ‘23 got things going at no. 4. She won in three, but had to work hard to close out the match (3, 13, 9). With the evens going first as is customary, Elle Wilson ‘26 garnered the second point at no. 2 (6, 9, 7), using her superior precision to control points and deprive her hard-hitting opponent of opportunities to swing away. Following Green, Margaret Dilks ‘24 showed how much she has improved in just a week, using power and clever decision making to overwhelm her opponent at no 3 (5, 1, 4). The final point was brought home by Nicole Smith ‘23 at no. 1 (5, 7, 6), who out scrambled and outmaneuvered a tenacious defender. Further down the ladder, the Martlets came close but fell short. At no. 5 Alice Tao ‘24 lost three close games (9, 9, 9), and at no. 6, Emily Fonner ‘26 was probably just a few swings away from getting over the top  in her four set loss ((6), 10, 8, 2). The final highlight was the exhibition win for Anna Min ‘26 at no. 9. The girls will now have to wait for the new year for their next competition
