Top Four Grab Singles Wins To Carry Trenton
The Trenton High School tennis team scored its second victory over Chillicothe this season, taking down the Hornets 5-4 on the road Thursday.
Trenton fell behind 2-1 in doubles play, a reversal of what occurred in a 6-3 win for Trenton over Chillicothe back on Sept. 14 at home. The Hornets were able to flip the result of the number-one doubles match as Mallory Sole and Alaina Overton were defeated 8-5. The other two doubles matches were very close with Trenton winning at number two where Astrid Soriano and Lydia Leininger were 9-7 winners and falling at number three where Harley Hall and Jillian Voorhies were defeated by a 9-7 score.
As was the case in the first dual, how-ever, Trenton controlled singles play at the top of the lineup. Sole won her match 8-5 and Soriano was an 8-6 winner at number two. Overton and Leininger followed with wins of 8-1 and 8-4 respectively to seal the dual victory for the Bulldogs. Singles play closed with Hall falling 8-2 and Voorhies losing 8-0.
“It was a hard-fought win on the road,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “I’m proud of my team and their hard work.”
Trenton, winners of four straight, moved to 7-4 overall on the season. The Bulldogs were in St. Joseph to take on Benton on Monday and close out regular season play today (Tuesday), traveling to Lexington for a 4 o’clock dual with the Minutewomen.
