Girls Tennis 2010-03-15 vs Monroe

The OHHS Spring sports season (home edition) started off with a JV tennis match vs Monroe at the OHHS tennis courts. At the same time, the varsity team was at Monroe.

In the JV matches the Wildcats swept in singles, winning all four matches in straight sets. Coach Garry Brown was especially impressed by the play of Kristen Shields at 3rd singles who "destroyed her opponent" 6-1, 6-1. The JV girls added a win at 1st doubles (Ashley Leslie and Kim Kerley) to win the match 5-2. Leslie and Kerley went to a tiebreaker in the 2nd set to win 6-0, 7-6 (3). Monroe responded by sweeping the exhibition matches but OH got the match win.

JV winners were:
Cassie Gianino 6-2, 6-3
Kelli Travenetti 6-4, 6-4
Kristen Shields 6-1, 6-1
Jordan Trask 6-2, 6-3
Leslia/Kerley 6-0, 7-6 (3)
