2007-2008 Girl's Tennis
Record 7wins 5 losses
The Girl's team faced some difficult matches without number 1 singles player Alex Covington, out due to illness for four key matches. Alex won several matches 6-0, 6-0, but lost to the number one singles players from Beechwood and Highlands. Alex had a tough draw in the regional, losing to finalist Emily Roebker from Notre Dame.
This was a season where everyone proved to be the most valuable player at one time or another: Bri D'Alessandri did Villa proud filling in for Alex, winning a key match against St. Henry in 3 sets. Katherine Hayes won a decisive match against Campbell County in straight sets as well. #1Doubles and Team Captains, seniors Emily Greenwood and Mandie Napier won big matches against Campbell County and Calvary Christian and #2Doubles Stephanie Pike and Meghan Moehlmann were the only teammembers to win against Beechwood in the conference championship, in a tough 3-set match.
Senior Rachael Osterhues paired with Junior Catherine Hayes to win our only match against Highlands in #1JV Doubles. Freshman Molly Backsheider won the only match against Notre Dame at #1 JV singles.
Katie Cunha also made Villa proud, filling in where she was needed in singles and doubles and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Junior Varsity tournament.
