Girls Varsity Tennis vs. Manchester West HS School

Game Date: Apr 10, 2017
Score: KNIGHTS: 3
MANCHESTER WEST HIGH SCHOOL: 6

The Kingswood Girls Tennis team hosted Manchester West in a record long 3 hour and 40 minute match.

Coming up on the wrong end of a tiebreaker and with two 7-9 losses, the 3 to 6 loss was almost a 6 to 3 win. The match was the first time the girls team was able to practice on outdoor courts with nets up. West had the advantage of being on courts the last few weeks.

Jasper Shapiro came back from a 3 game deficit in singles to bring her set to a tiebreaker. She lost this 6 to 8. Kara Phu won her singles 8 to 5. Brooke Seigars won her singles 8 to 5. Danielle Schillereff lost her singles 4 to 8. Rebecca Coache lost her singles 5 to 8. Bri Heald won her singles 8 to 6. After splitting the singles, the Knights needed to win two of the three doubles to win the match.

Shapiro and Seigars dropped the number 1 doubles 5 to 8. Both Phu and Coache at second doubles and Schillereff and Heald at third doubles kept it close and at one point were both at 7 to 6. Both ended up losing 7 to 9, a full three hours and 40 minutes after the match started.

The team has had one longer match a few years ago when there was a one hour weather hold. This was the longest continuous play match in memory.

The team's match against Kennett at Kennett has been postponed until May because of snow in North Conway. The team will host St. Thomas on Thursday.
