On Monday October 3, the HHS Girls Tennis Team played their quarterfinal match and was defeated by Benilde St. Margarets by default.

Benilde’s record is 13-4-1 and HHS’s record is 8-4.

HHS and Benilde won three matches each, leaving the last match to determine the winner.

Lauren Feagler, junior, played the last match. After hitting an overhead winner shot, she blew out her knee, was in extreme pain, and left to go see an Orthopedist. HHS had to forfeit, and therefore lost by default.

Even with the loss, the team believes they did their best this season.

“We lost but as a whole the team worked really hard this year and we fought throughout the season and never gave up,” said Paige Newman, junior.

This loss ends the season for the team.
