It was a day for adventures.
The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team went island-hopping right before Spring Break, bopping over to Friday Harbor for a league match.
While on that “other” rock sitting out in the water Friday afternoon, the Wolves weathered windy conditions, a match stopped early for injury, and a shuffled lineup.
And while Coupeville fell 3-1, with the #2 singles match suspended early in the first set, the day was a successful one.
Especially for Dahlia Miller, who slid up from #2 singles to #1 singles with Tenley Stuurmans absent, and proved to be adept no matter what her position on the roster might be.
While Coupeville is 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-3 overall after Friday’s loss, Miller is the reverse, having won all three of her matches this season.
Another highlight was the battle at #2 varsity doubles, a rumble in which both teams sent sister combinations to the court.
Ember and Mila Light repped CHS and put up a strong fight.
With Spring Break roaring on to the scene, the Wolves don’t play another match until April 9, when they host Granite Falls in a non-conference tussle.

Varsity:
1st Singles — Dahlia Miller beat Frankie Pignatiello 6-1, 6-2
