“We [went] into our match Friday against Richard Montgomery evenly matched,” said third doubles player Lauren Evoy, who won her match 6-2, 7-5. “With Coach Wayerski teaching and formerly coaching the girl’s tennis team at Richard Montgomery, we [had] her insight to how they play, which [was very helpful to our success].”

The girls look to add to the win column when they host the 5-3 Walter Johnson Wildcats on Thursday.
