Bulldogs Lose To Trinty

11/1/2015

On Thursday, October 29th, DE took on Trinity for the second time this season. While the Bulldogs lost the match 5-0, everyone gave their best and there was a lot of fight across every court!

Jackie played a solid first singles player who liked to rip forehands and forehand returns. When Jackie went down at the start of the match, she regrouped and dug in to fight. She won the next game, but eventually lost 8-2.

At second singles, India was unfazed by her opponent’s big serve and fast-paced forehands. She kept making her opponent hit one more, using her consistency to force errors. Despite an 8-5 loss, India was in the match the whole time.

Alexa played her second official singles match at third singles. Her match was full of long rallies, and she effectively lobbed over her opponent to win key points in the wind. Despite an 8-4 loss, she has a lot to be proud of. The team will need her as a singles player next year!

Eighth graders Sloan and Grace enjoyed playing their first official match together. They were up against two solid players. One girl frequently utilized her massive serve. Sloan and India were unfazed when they went down early in the match, and they eventually brought their opponents to 6-6. Despite losing the next game, they had a lot to be proud of in their 8-6 match.

At second doubles, seventh graders Arianna and Ellie played their first official match together. They were up against another tough opponent. They went up 2-0 in the beginning of the match, but eventually lost 8-3.

Many girls played exhibition matches, including the rest of our seventh and eighth graders. Some girls even decided to play again. We love that spirit!

We have our last match on Wednesday vs. Tuxedo Park.
