Deerfield’s varsity girls headed east for an afternoon match with Andover on Wednesday. It’s becoming something of a tradition for this match to be driven inside by the rain during warm ups. After the teams finished their preparation on the indoor courts, doubles got underway.
Andover’s three doubles squads played smart, methodical tennis and volleyed their way to three wins. As the light faded outside, the teams agreed to close the match once a team had clinched the win. Battling hard at one singles, Natalia Sanders won her first set 6-4 before play ended for the day. Giorgia Santore played some tremendous points at three singles, trading power and strategy with her Andover opponent. The team falls to 3-4 and looks ahead to a home match with Hotchkiss on Saturday.
