Women’s Team Steals the Show
The spotlight shone brightly on the Newberry Wolves women’s tennis team as they rallied after losing the doubles point. Although they started their day on a shaky note, losing the first two doubles matches, the Wolves roared back in singles play, showcasing their skill and determination.
In doubles, things didn’t go as planned for Newberry. The first pair, Emma Arnal and Renee Dorval, fell to Anderson’s G. Weaver and G. Sompayrac with a score of 6-1. Not far behind, Margarita Roshka and Alexa Gamborino-Suarez lost their match against V. Borda and A. Braithwaite, with a score of 6-3. The final doubles match featuring Lina Sarhan and Aina Miralles against E. Ronconi and M. Opre was left unfinished, with the score at 5-3 in favor of Anderson.
However, the women didn’t let this setback dampen their spirits! They charged into singles play with a fierce determination. Aina Miralles led the charge, winning decisively against E. Ronconi with scores of 6-1 and 6-0, giving Newberry their first point of the match. Following her lead, Renee Dorval also secured a win, defeating E. Collins with a score of 6-4, 6-2.
As the tension mounted, Lina Sarhan tied the match at 3-3 by clinching her match against M. Opre, winning 6-3 and pulling off a nail-biting 7-6 victory in the tie-breaker. The final act was nothing short of dramatic as Margarita Roshka, down a set, staged a spectacular comeback to win against G. Sompayrac, with final scores of 3-6, 6-1, and 6-3. With that victory, Newberry led the match to a triumphant conclusion, stealing a well-deserved win!

Collignon and S. Thauornchaisophon. Another pair, Lucas Mruk and Noel Bartz, also faced defeat against P. Cronin and V. Mico-Fellonar, going down with a score of 6-2. Meanwhile, a match featuring David Negzaoui and James Vincent against W. Shioi and J. Lucas was halted at 4-5.
Moving into singles, James Vincent managed to snag a point for Newberry with a hard-fought victory of 6-4, 6-3. Unfortunately, the day proved to be rough for some of his teammates. Daniel Watson lost 6-4, 6-0 to Rufus Plane, while Gabriel Fernandez-Iglesias fell in a close match, losing 5-7, 3-6, and Lucas Mruk suffered a loss of 6-2, 6-4.
