Too Tall an Order

For their final dual match, the girls had to play again without No. 1 Valeria Osorio '19. Her absence turned what figured to be a very interesting match into one in which everyone was in just a bit too deep, and the hosts earned a sweep. Nonetheless, the Martlets fought hard and pushed their Rhino opponents. Taft's depth showed as it won in three at Nos. 6 and 7 over Georgia Swank '19 (5, 7, 8) and Eve Cathcart '20 (5, 7, 4), respectively. At No. 4, captain Caroline Kelter '19 also fell in three, although she gained strength as her match progressed, and narrowly missed pushing into a fourth (3, 7, 13). Ellie Bailey '21 pushed a very strong No. 2, playing long, entertaining rallies, but also could not muster a game (6, 4, 8). At the other spots on the ladder, the girls found more success. At No. 1, Kaylee Hunt '20 came from behind to win her first game, but did not have the stamina to keep it going against a strong defender and counter-puncher ((10), 6, 0, 7). Natalie Fay '19 was at her determined best at No. 3; she would have had a good chance if she had been able to eke out a few more points to force a fifth game (5, 8, (6), 9). Rebecca Sargent '20 produced effective pressure with deep drives at No. 5, and she was also just a few points from taking her match to a fifth ((8), 3, 10, 8). And in an exhibition match that pitted sister against sister, Annabel Bradley '19 refused to go home empty-handed, using great court coverage to earn her game (6, 8, (13), 4). Sixth Formers Bradley, Swank, Fay and Kelter made strong impressions in their final regular-season performances. The top seven are looking forward to one more chance to shine at New Englands this weekend.
