Martlets Lose Competitive Season Opener
With six of eight players returning from last year's squad, expectations and spirits were high as the Martlets hosted GA in what was anticipated to be a close match. The contest did not disappoint. Three of the matches went to a third set, and ultimately the Gators were able to win two of those three, securing the win. The first Black and Gold point of the day came in doubles, where Ellie Suit '20 and Clara Ekholm '20 reunited and played a high level of tennis. Down 2-3 after five, the Martlets used strong net play to battle back and pulled ahead to win 8-4. The No. 2 doubles match was also close, but Alex Wolf '19 and Lauren Way '20 fell to their opponents 5-8. In singles, Way was in control throughout her match at No. 2, playing a beautiful full-court match, and won 6-2, 6-3. Wolf secured the third win of the day at No. 6. After losing the first set, she rebounded in a big way winning the second 6-0. She rode the momentum into tie-breaker for the third set and was up 7-1 before her Gator foe recovered and put pressure back on Wolf. In the end, the Sixth Form Martlet captain hung tough to pull out the 10-8 win. Despite the overall loss, the Black and Gold showed great promise in this season opener, and the team looks forward to hosting Deerfield on Wednesday.
