Martlets Fall Just Short in Exciting Opening Match
For the fourth time in as many years, these two teams opened their seasons with a 4-3 match score (each winning twice). This year the Pelicans came out on top in dramatic fashion. The hosts had the advantage at the top of the ladder, winning at each of the top three spots, although not without a good fight. Kaylee Hunt '20 faced a very strong No. 1, and showed good fight and encouraging persistence in her first match for the Martlets (4, 2, 8). With No. 2 Valeria Osorio '19 out for the day, Ellie Bailey '21 played up a spot (as would everyone else) and raised her game, taking the first game before falling in four. At No. 3, Natalie Fay ’19 played a bunch of long rallies, but could not break through, losing three close games (6, 10, 9). The Martlets took the next three spots in even tighter matches. Captain Caroline Kelter '19 dropped her first and fourth games, but she turned a close match into a runaway as she took her last game at love at No. 4. Rebecca Sargent '20 (6, (8), 9, 1) and Annabel Bradley '19 (6, (9), 9, 2) played nearly identical matches at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively, eventually dominating with their length. The final match on court was played by Eve Cathcart '20 at No. 7. She took a 2-0 lead in games but could not quite close out her opponent, dropping the last three games at 10, 9 and 11, the last of which included one match ball earned and another one fought off. Fittingly, for a match with a razor thin margin, the exhibition match also went to five games, with Georgia Swank '19 prevailing 9, (6), 4, (6), 5. The girls will be eager to get back on court to face Miss Porter's on Wednesday.
