Girls tennis narrowly lost to the Temple City Rams Thursday, Oct. 18. After tying 9-9, the Tigers fell in the tiebreaker, losing 72-71.
The singles squad did fairly well, winning five of nine sets. Singles one, junior captain Carissa Park, crushed all three opponents, 6-2, 6-3, and 6-1. Junior Olivia Reed and freshman Kyra Campbell also defeated Temple City’s singles three 6-0 and 6-2, respectively.
The doubles squad also managed to pull out four sets. Doubles team one, senior Teryn Kum and junior Skylar Cornforth, capitalized on their opponents’ weaknesses, winning all three sets 6-1, 6-1, and 6-1. Doubles team two, junior Kimberly Hsueh and sophomore Stephanie Li, was only able to secure one win, 7-3.
