“The girls played great tennis today,” said Coach Matt Pedlow. “The match of the day was at 4 singles where Jenna May made her varsity debut. “
The coach said she lost a very tight first set, but came back to win the 2nd set 6-0. In the 3rd set tiebreaker, Jenna was down 9-6, so her opponent had a number of chances at match point but she battled back and won five straight points.
“Hopefully,” the coach said, “This match gives Jenna some confidence to continue to play strong tennis.”
