The Lady Seahawks tennis team lost three tough matches over the past week. The first, away at Madison Area Memorial High School on April 25, was a difficult 3-2 loss as the team’s short roster filled all matches but one double.

Delly Clarkson lost the first singles match, 10-0, to Bulldog Breanna Kenagy; Isabel Harkins fell 10-0 to Kynsey Hibbard; Madison Faulkingham defeated Shelby Belanger, 10-2; and Olivia Paolillo and Marissa Peters defeated Bulldogs Mikayla Violette and McKenzie Drury, 10-4.

The Seahawks lost their April 29 home match against Spruce Mountain High School and had to forfeit a singles match and doubles match.

Clarkson lost both sets against Phoenix Natalie Luce, 6-0, 6-1; Harkins defeated Annabelle Collins in two sets, 6-4 and 6-4; Faulkingham and Peters lost to Hanni Johnson and Sara Henderson, winning one set, 7-3, and losing two, 7-6 and 6-1.

The Seahawks were shut out by the Mountain Valley High School Falcons on May 1 with one loss due to forfeiting second doubles. Clarkson lost two sets, 6-2 and 6-3, against Kierstyn Lyons; Harkins lost two sets, 6-0 and 6-1, against Rylee Sevigny; and Faulkingham lost two sets, 6-3 and 6-2 against Avery Sevigny.

Doubles teammates Paolillo and Peters lost their first set 6-2 and very nearly snuck up on opponents Sarah Cunningham and Abbey Dugauy during the second set, but lost 7-5.

The Lady Seahawks host the Dirigo High School Cougars at 4 p.m. May 6.
