One more road trip.

Making their final trek of the season as a complete team Monday, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team battled it out with Granite Falls.

While the host Tigers swept the doubles matches to escape with a 3-2 victory in the official varsity portion of the rumble, the Wolves earned a 6-6 split overall.

With everyone in action for CHS playing two matches, the first round consisted of pro sets to eight points, with the second round a regular set to six.

The Wolves have one more regular season match on their schedule, hosting Friday Harbor Wednesday at 3:30 PM.

It’s a familiar pattern.

Tuesday’s home Coupeville High School girls’ tennis match played out almost identically to all the ones which have come before this season.

The Wolves swept the varsity singles matches, with Tenley Stuurmans and Dahlia Miller both remaining undefeated.

“Dahlia finished her match quickly and played very consistently,” said CHS coach Starla Seal.

But visiting King’s ultimately bounced back to claim the doubles bouts, escaping with a narrow 3-2 win in the non-conference rumble.

Up next for the Wolves is another home match Friday, this time with Northwest 2B/1B League rival Friday Harbor on the slate.

Start time is 3:30 PM.

Miles Gerber keeps a laser focus.

 

Tuesday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Mia Sharp 6-3, 4-6, 10-4

2nd Singles — Dahlia Miller beat Abrielle Wahl 6-2, 6-1

3rd Singles — Brynn Parker tied Ava Bjella 2-2 (injury retirement)

1st Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Brynn Parker lost to Kate Marquet/Ellie Van Mieghem 6-0, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light lost to Melanie Arbune/Zoe Burnett 6-0, 6-0

3rd Doubles — Samantha Wallace/Hailey Goldman lost to Abby Isaacson/Carly Luckso 6-0, 6-1

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Chloe Ferguson/Rowan Stoner lost to Olivia Pacquer/Lexi Reimer 6-1, 6-1

5th Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Miles Gerber beat Savannah Coxsey/Ashley Wells 6-4 (intra-squad match)

Windy weather, titanic tennis

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

The final shot has been hit, and varsity letters awarded.

Coupeville High School girls’ tennis coaches and players capped their unusual season — one in which they never had a home match thanks to work on new courts — with a banquet Wednesday night.

 

Honored with letters were:

Kauri Hamilton
Kaitlyn Leavell
Delanie Lewis
Brynn Parker
Skylar Parker
Sofia Phay
Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao
Tenley Stuurmans

 

Five of those eight can return next spring — when new CHS courts should finally be open — with seniors Leavell and Skylar Parker, as well as foreign exchange student Silva De Campos Conceicao departing.

Leading the returnees will be Stuurmans, who advanced to the state tournament as just an 8th grader.
