Girls’ Tennis

Concord 6, Manchester Memorial 3

Key players: Concord –  Rosie Currie (demonstrated ability to split step, recover to baseline, and chase down all opponents’ shots). 

Highlights: Our returning top-six players, Grace Ferguson and Alex Grappone, demonstrated how to keep emotions at bay in their wins. Yangchen Sherpa played her first top six match and was victorious.

Coach’s quote: “Memorial is a similar team to Concord, technically and mentally. They are always good competitors, and Coach Natasha works hard with a large roster there. It was a cold afternoon with all the usual first match jitters. Lots to work on before we play Spaulding on Monday.”  – Concord’s Greg Malette

Records: Concord 1-0; Memorial 0-1
