Bears Sweep Portledge to Take Over 1st Place

Wu in action earlier this season (PC: Bruce Jeffrey)

This afternoon the girls’ tennis team swept undefeated Portledge in Locust Valley, 5-0, to improve to 4-0 in PSAA play and grab the top spot in the East Division standings. The win put them in the driver’s seat to repeat as East Division Champions with two matches left.

Sadhana Sridhar (6-1, 6-0), Carina Cristobal (6-1, 6-0), and Marta Bennett (6-0, 6-1) cruised through singles while Alanna Wu and Isabel Guo (6-2, 6-4) and Wonder Wei and Mary Wang (6-4, 6-2) completed the sweep at doubles.

The win gave the Bears an 11th straight PSAA victory dating back to last year’s undefeated season. They are back in action tomorrow, weather permitting, in a league match at Long Island Lutheran. A win would clinch the Bears at least a share of the East Division title.
