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.

Friday’s results:

Varsity:

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

2nd Singles — Sofia Phay tied Lyla Overell 2-2 (injury)

1st Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Savannah Coxsey lost to Kira Clark/Megan Mellinger 6-0, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light lost to Hazel Leighton/Norah Leighton 6-3, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Miles Gerber lost to Ava Gomez/Sophia Ramirez 6-1, 6-0

JV:

4th Doubles — Samantha Wallace/Hailey Goldman lost to Bella Allen/Charisse Ho 8-0

5th Doubles — Rowan Stoner/Chloe Ferguson lost to Isabelle D./Indi Minter 8-1

6th Doubles — Savannah Coxsey/Ashley Wells lost to Olive Furber/Flora Vaught 8-2

They’re back.

Thanks to new courts being planned, then delayed, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team hadn’t played a home match since spring 2023.

That finally changed Tuesday, as surprisingly warm weather greeted the Wolves and visiting East Jefferson.

“The weather was beautiful — sunny, warm, and the perfect day for a home opener!” said CHS coach Starla Seal.

The match itself was a barn burner, as Coupeville swept the singles matches, while the visitors took the doubles bouts to claim the 3-2 win.

After opening with a pair of non-conference tilts against East Jefferson, which is a mashup of Chimacum and Port Townsend, the Wolves hit the road Friday for their Northwest 2B/1B League opener.

Coupeville will island hop over to Friday Harbor, for the first of four rumbles with their archrivals.

Tuesday’s match was highlighted by a three-set battle royal at #2 singles, with Coupeville ace Dahlia Miller pulling out the victory.

“Dahlia did amazing!” Seal said. “She battled to a third set and just killed it in the third set!

“Great match to watch! Dahlia is a very focused player and we’re lucky to have her!”

Coupeville’s other win came courtesy fab frosh Tenley Stuurmans, who advanced to the state tourney as just an 8th grader, while the new-look doubles teams are finding their groove.

“I’m impressed at how dedicated they are working on all their skills and playing loads of matches,” Seal said.

“Ember and Mila Light worked hard and played two matches, winning their second match against a JV team,” she added.

“This is Mila’s first match; the sisters worked well together and battled out each point.”

From top to bottom, the Wolf roster brought their best games as they officially debuted the new courts.

“All worked hard, and we are so proud of them!” Seal said.

Kauri Hamilton bonds with mom Shannon.

Tuesday’s results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Rennie O’Donnell 6-1, 6-1

2nd Singles — Dahlia Lewis beat Autumn Cervenlia 6-2, 3-6, 6-1

1st Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Lucia Fields/Gracie Witherwidge 6-0, 6-2

2nd Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light lost to Livia Lee/Brooke Tomasetti 6-2, 6-1

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Miles Gerber lost to Olivia Larson/Colline Mosher 6-1, 6-2

JV:

4th Doubles — Samantha Wallace/Hailey Goldman lost to Bella Ferland/Fern French 6-2, 6-3

5th Doubles — Rowan Stoner/Chloe Ferguson lost to Ursula Schmidt/Zinnia Blachtley 6-0, 6-0

6th Doubles — Savannah Coxsey/Ashley Wells lost to Rise Spamm/Sienna Vasques Viento 6-2, 6-1

7th Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light beat Tara Bradley/Brooke Tomasetti 6-4

Ready for battle!

Spring has fully sprung.

Maybe not in the weather category, as Mother Nature keeps everyone guessing as to her intentions, but enough games have been played that it’s time to once again kick into running weekly standings stories.

The week ahead adds another level of intrigue, with Northwest 2B/1B League teams squaring off against each other for the first time.

Coupeville High School baseball and softball clash with Friday Harbor twice — at home Tuesday, then on the road Thursday.

After that, the hardball squad wraps the week by hosting South Whidbey Saturday for a non-conference tilt.

Meanwhile, Wolf girls’ tennis is slated to (finally) host its first match on its new home courts Tuesday, with East Jefferson coming to town.

Then the netters hit the road Friday for a trip to Friday Harbor for the first of four clashes with the only other NWL school to play the sport.

Wrapping things up, CHS track is on the road twice, with a trip to Mount Vernon Wednesday for a league meet, and a trek to Stanwood Saturday for a freshman/sophomore showcase.

As we head into the great unknown, here’s where things sit as of Mar. 23:
