Manchester JV Tennis Second At Concord

Manchester JV used its depth and talent to place 2nd in the Concord JV Invitational in spite of illness and schedule conflicts eliminating several top players.

Chase Blevins anchored the top singles spot winning two matches (8-5 & 8-4) and narrowly losing a close tiebreaker against a Northwood senior 7-8(4-7). Haley Betten also notched two singles victories (8-5 & 8-4) while Lexie Nichols also earned an 8-5 win over Mishawaka Marian. Manchester 1 doubles went undefeated for the day with Ella Bradley pairing with Katie Jenkins to defeat both Concord (8-6) and two Northwood seniors (8-4) while Bradley paired with Alexa Weaver to beat Marian 8-1. Audrey Sanson teamed up with Citlali Quiroz-Alverez for a nice 8-5 victory over Concord and came back against Northwood to get to 4-5 before narrowly losing several games 4-8. In the 2 doubles matchup versus Marian, freshmen Adrianna Escuredo and Tallulah Gawthrop excited all with their 8-6 win. Aisali Tynymbay, exchange student from Kazakhstan, also played a nice set against Concord.
