The Varsity Girls Tennis team here at Northport High School is going to the playoffs for its 2nd consecutive year! This efforts is thanks to an abundance of great players that are on the team this year.
Junior Alexis Heffernan is playing 1st Singles along with Sophomore Avery Shin at 2nd Singles. Senior Quinn Sorel and Freshman Sara Rayola share the 3rd Singles spot.
Moving into 1st Doubles, we have Seniors Faith Hoerning and Caroline Carvajal. Second Doubles is played by Sofia Zaffer and shared by Rayola and Sorel. Sophomore Nora Segur and Junior Isabelle McArdle are together at 3rd Doubles. Finally, Juniors Isabella Griesh and Olivia Graziano play at the team’s 4th Doubles. This team is led by the Head Coach Harry Kingsley.
The team has had quite the successful season this year with a current record of 6-2! They started out very consistent with a 5-0 record until a competitive loss to Half Hollow Hills East. They got their 6th win against Walt Whitman with a full game score of 5-2. These girls have been working quite hard daily to receive these stats and it clearly paid off!
To watch this team play at every match is always an experience. Each and every player has their own unique style of playing. Every player has such potential and skill. If you have free time, make sure to come see one of the Girls Varsity Tennis matches before the season concludes! Wish these girls luck in the playoffs!
