NEWPORT — The Middlebury Union High School girls’ tennis team on Monday defeated host North Country, improving to 2-0 on the season in the process. 

The Tigers were set to host Rice on Wednesday after the deadline for this edition and will visit Harwood this Friday.

Coach Dan Comar noted the Tiger girls lost twice to North Country a year ago, and said he saw “nice progress in second- and third-year players moving up the ranks” — notably Sophia Boise and Piper Farnsworth, as well as senior Caroline Nicolai.

Comar also pointed out both doubles had “solid, close wins to cement the 5-2 win.”

The results in individual matches were: 

At No. 1 singles, Jade Francis, NC, defeated Audrey Carpenter, MUHS, 6-1, 6-2.

At No. 2 singles, Cheska Adonis, NC, defeated Ryte Akraimaite, MUHS, 6-2, 6-0.

At No. 3 singles, Sophia Boise, MUHS, defeated Mya Auger, NC, 7-5, 6-2.
