Girls Are Division III Champs After Exciting Tight Win

The girls captured the team's first-ever division title at the High School Nationals with a 4-3 win over Brooks. The Martlets claimed the first point when Eve Cathcart '20 coolly prevailed at No. 7 (5, 11, 6). Kaylee Hunt '20 made it 2-0 at No. 2, but it required that she overcome a momentum shift in an entertaining five-setter (9, 3, (5), (5), 6). Brooks evened the score with the next two results, despite great efforts by Natalie Fay '19 at No. 5 (10, 10, 8) and Ellie Bailey '21 at No. 3 (9, 6, (9), 4). Given that Brooks' No. 1 was a virtual lock to win (which she would do), it fell to Rebecca Sargent '20 at No. 6 and Caroline Kelter '19 at No. 4 to secure the win. Sargent took care of business in three, responding to a 14-12 second game with a bagel in the third, setting the stage for Kelter. After a strong first-game win, she lost an epic second and a tight third. Her championship-winning rally was inspiring, as she roared back to win (7, (15), (8), 3, 4) and put the Martlets over the top. Thanks go to the support of the parents who could make it, as well as to the members of the boys team who lent their voices to the crowd for both the semi-finals and the finals.
