LAPORTE - Plymouth’s girls tennis team ended a busy week by winning the Slicer Tournament Saturday.

In the first match, Plymouth blanked Boone Grove 5-0, while not losing a single game amongst all five varsity matches. Senior Olivia Newcomb, playing in her first varsity match, combined with Cassidy Riddle to shut out their opponents at 2D.

In the championship match, Plymouth topped a solid Laporte team, 3-2. Winning their matches for the Pilgrims were Aubrey Vervynckt (1S), Bella Kain (2S), and 2D Cassidy Riddle-annie Plothow, all in straight sets. Taylor Delp and Ellie Jones at No. 1 doubles split sets and lost in a super-tiebreaker. Four wins in three days improves the Lady Pilgrims’ season record to 12-1.
