Cedar Ridge had to wait 48 hours longer than expected to earn its first tennis win of the season, but it was worth the wait.
After Monday’s match against Bartlett Yancey was rained out, the Red Wolves stormed past Eastern Alamance 9-0 on Wednesday at Red Wolves Tennis Courts.
Ivy Garner earned her 1st win at #1 singles for Cedar Ridge, winning her match 6-0, 6-0. Sophomore Olivia Ward racked up two victories on the day, taking her singles match 6-0, 6-1. Ward teamed with Garner for a 8-0 win in doubles, which was the final match of the day.
Kate Milner captured her first singles match of the season 6-0, 6-2. Milner also teamed with Nora Sauers for a 8-1 doubles win. Sauers easily took her #4 singles match 6-0, 6-4.
Maddy Werner was also victorius at #5 singles 6-2, 6-1. Natalie Marochak earned her first varsity singles win 6-3, 6-4.
Marochak and Werner teamed to win at #3 doubles 8-2.
Cedar Ridge will have a short turnaround. They face Durham School of the Arts on Thursday. DSA was the only team to defeat Cedar Ridge in the regular season in 2016.
