The Amy Yee Tennis Center was their house.
Playing some of their best tennis of the season Wednesday in Seattle, the Coupeville High School netters claimed the District 1/2 team title while qualifying three girls for next week’s state tourney.
Wolf seniors Dahlia Miller and Aleksia Jump, in their first season as a hardcourt duo, won all three of their matches to earn a title, while sophomore Tenley Stuurmans finished runner-up in the singles royal rumble.
It’s the second trip to state for Stuurmans, who advanced to the big dance as an 8th grader.
Wednesday’s Bi-District tourney brought Northwest 2B/1B League rivals Coupeville and Friday Harbor to the big city, where they faced off with District 2 Sea-Tac League foes Forest Ridge, Summit Classic Christian, and Puget Sound Adventist.
Overall, the Wolves won seven of 11 matches on the day, with everyone in uniform earning at least one victory.
Forest Ridge freshman Anika Love, who won all three of her matches 6-0, 6-0 to win the singles title, is the first player to beat Stuurmans this season.
Love and the Wolf trio will be joined at state by Friday Harbor sisters Norah and Hazel Leighton, who finished second in doubles.
The season-ending tourney is set for May 22-23 at the Yakima Tennis Club.
