American Canyon High girls tennis wins season opener

The American Canyon High School girls tennis team beat host Casa Grande 6-1 on Tuesday in the Vine Valley Athletic League opener for both schools.

It was the first contest of any kind for the Wolves, who have been on hiatus since last March. Tennis is considered a purple-tier sport and was allowed to start in February in California.

American Canyon picked up three wins in singles play, including one from Berke Nauright at No. 2 singles as she won a marathon 6-7, 7-5, 7-5 match against Suparna Kompalli.

Dorothy Madrico (6-4, 6-1) and Ezrielle Liave (64, 7-5) also posted wins in singles. Liave is a freshman and made her prep debut.

In doubles, the team of Katie Ayers and Morgan Crowell won 6-2, 6-0 and the team of Emily Satake and Ariel Legler won 6-0, 6-1. The No. 3 doubles team of Lauren Wheelhouse and Erian Pangilinan won 6-1, 6-3. Crowell and Pangilinan also made their prep debuts.

The Wolves are back in action on Thursday when they host Napa.
