SIDNEY — The Lehman girls tennis team opened the season with two tough matches. Lehman lost to Miami Valley 5-0 on Monday and 4-1 to Milton-Union on Tuesday.
In Monday’s singles, Claire Larger lost to Olivia Schrager 6-1, 6-0; Sarah Gibson lost to Janine Quigley 6-1, 6-0; and Melanie Brunner lost to Liyah Varghise 6-1, 4-0 retired.
In doubles, Angela Brunner and Ann Pennaparra lost to Eleanor Liu and Vennala Vallablahani 6-0, 6-1; and Kierra Burns and Grace Brandt lost to Vai Tresse and Shraya Sandhlir 6-1, 6-1.
“I thought our girls played well,” Lehman coach Tim Ungericht said of Monday’s performance. “Miami Valley is one of the top two Division II teams in the Dayton area and the toughest team we will play the entire season. We were missing half of our first doubles team so we had to move Grace up from JV but its good experience for her.”
In Tuesday’s singles, Claire Larger defeated Hannah Fugate 6-3, 6-4; Sarah Gibson lost to Abby Hissong 6-2, 6-0; and Melanie Brunner lost to Meredith Fitch 6-0, 6-0.
