It was a solid swan song.
Coupeville High School tennis players combined to net four wins Friday while playing in Tumwater, carrying the Wolves to a second place showing in the team standings at the District 1/4 tournament.
While the Wolves were not able to advance any of their racket wielders on to the state championships, every CHS netter in attendance garnered a win.
That’s especially nice, since five of the six Wolves who made the trip — Mary Milnes, Eryn Wood, Noelle Daigneault, Katelin McCormick, and Abby Mulholland — are seniors.
Helen Strelow, a junior who competed at state in cross country at the start of the school year, will be the lone returning player from this group.
The bi-district tourney featured two schools from each district, with Friday Harbor and Coupeville repping D-1, while Stevenson and Three Rivers Christian hailed from D-4.
Stevenson, which swept both the singles and doubles crowns, sends three players to state after going 10-2 on the day.
Coupeville was 4-4, winning all of its first-round tussles, while Friday Harbor and TRC finished 0-4.

Abby Mulholland:
Beat Pan (Three Rivers Christian) 6-1, 7-6(7-4)
