Still perfect.
The Coupeville High School girls tennis team has never lost a match against a 1A Olympic League foe, and the streak has now reached four years and counting.
Taking advantage of better-than-expected weather, the Wolves drilled visiting Klahowya 6-1 Thursday in the conference opener for both squads.
The win lifts Coupeville to 1-0 in league play, 2-5 overall, with Chimacum coming to Whidbey Friday for another Olympic League rumble.
Since joining the conference in 2014, the Wolf netters have ripped off three straight league titles, and three straight unbeaten runs through conference play.
The only thing which has stopped them at times is weather.
After going 6-0 the first time around, CHS was 5-0 and 4-0 the past two seasons, and, with titles clinched, didn’t stress out too badly over matches which were rained out multiple times.
At 16-0 all-time, Wolf girls tennis joins Klahowya girls and boys soccer as the only three programs to have not dropped a contest in league play.
Facing off with the Eagles, CHS got its usual strong play from its doubles units, all four of which swept to straight-sets wins.
But, adding a nice cherry on top of the sundae were the singles players, where freshman Genna Wright and senior Heather Nastali each captured their first varsity wins of the season.
Wright, who Coupeville coach Ken Stange hailed as “mentally tough,” got hers in a knock-down, drag-out brawl at #2 singles which sailed past the two-hour mark.
