From MSHS Girls Tennis Head Coach, Karl Thomsen:

• “West Iron County was the second meet of the day for our girls and a very respectable team.  Our #2 doubles team of Natalie Deneau and Maija Parkkonen had a really strong day dropping only 2 games in the four sets they played.  Lucy Stern and Kyra Autio had excellent performances at #2 and #4 singles.  Both girls did a great job of keeping their opponents off balance by varying their shot selection.  Thursday should be fun up in Westwood, as we will get a chance to see a handful of U.P. teams.  ”

Next Up:

• The MSHS Girls Tennis team will be back in action on Thursday, 8/24/23, when they travel to West Ishpeming to compete in the Westwood Invite beginning at 10:00 a.m.
