Northwood High, often better known for the success of its football team, has won its third straight girls tennis match, and its first conference match of the season, with a 7-2 victory over Durham School of the Arts. That brings the Chargers' early season record to 3-0 under coach Susie Shachtman.
"It’s pretty exciting," Shachtman says. "We’re really happy with our win over (Siler City’s) Jordan-Matthews. We’d never beaten them before."
Catherine Shachtman, Claire Pauley, Katie Watkins and Kelsey Mays won their singles matches in straight sets Aug. 25 over DSA, and then helped the Chargers sweep the doubles. Jennifer Devinney-and-Pauley, Shachtman-and- Watkins, and Wilhelmina Cole-and-Mays all won their doubles matches, giving up just four games total among them.
Individually, Shachtman, Pauley, Watkins and Mays have each won their first three singles matches this season.
