Carpinteria High girls tennis took down St. Bonaventure by a score of 15-3 on Tuesday.
“I thought we played much better than last week’s opening match,” Warriors coach Charles Bryant said. “We were more relaxed and it showed. We brought down our unforced errors which made a huge difference.”
In doubles play, the duo of Charlotte Cooney and Allison Banks swept three sets, dropping just two total games. Natalie Martinez and Keyla Manriquez went 2-0 while the final pairing of Sasha Porinsh and Sara Fakinos ended with a record of 2-1.
According to Bryant, Cooney made an impact all over the court and Banks “looked so much more confident in her positioning and in her shots.”
Meanwhile, Valeria Zamora stood out in singles play, going 2-0 including a win against St. Bonaventure’s top player.
Silke Leonard and Izzy Scott each went 3-0 in singles, impressing Bryant.
“[Leonard] was very focused and did a great job of finishing points,” Bryant said. “[Scott] was moving well, getting to the balls quickly, preparing quickly and was a model of consistency.”
The Warriors (2-0) will take on Bishop Diego in their next matchup on Thursday.
