Nouaime, Prince claim PAC Doubles championship
There wasn’t much that could slow down the pairing of Dina Nouaime and Tina Price on Saturday — not even a little earlymorning rain.
After a several-hour rain delay held up play in the early morning, the No. 2-seeded Nouaime and Price went on to claim the Pioneer Athletic Conference girls tennis Doubles Championship at Perkiomen Valley.
The pairing from Methacton clipped Owen J. Roberts’ Elaina Lee and Jacey Caplan 7-5, 6-2 in the final set to claim the title.
Nouaime and Price opened the day with a 6-1, 6-4 win over third-place finisher Jasmine Mor-
ris and Nadja Townsend, from Perkiomen Valley, in the semifinal round.
Morris and Townsend then turned around and claimed a 7-5, 6-2 win over Methacton’s Air Louer and Karen Li in the third-place playoff.
In the fifth-place set, Erica Gratton and Vidisha Pandey, from Owen J. Roberts, claimed a 6-2, 4-6, 1210 win over Spring-Ford’s Maddy Morris and Lauren Ostermann.
