Shorewood v Kamiak

On Thursday, the Shorewood team faced an annual top three team from Wesco 4A league, at Kamiak High School. The team was up to the challenge and elevated their game to win convincingly 7-0. 

Emily Lin encountered a very consistent number 1 and won in two very hard-fought sets. The match included long rallies and aggressive baseline play from both players. Rand, Gettmann and Serwold all won to sweep in singles. 

Rand overcame a first set loss to win the next two sets in long points that sometimes lasted over thirty strokes per point!

Shorewood's doubles also stepped up to the challenge with extremely consistent groundstrokes and aggressive volleying at net. Carryn Petersen and Ava Lamb led the way at number 2 to win in straight sets. Also winning were Okamura and Nelson at number 1 and Uran and Johnson at number 3.

The wins improved Shorewood's record to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in Wesco South.
