Sherwood girls get another tennis win over Wilsonville

WILSONVILLE — OK, it’s no fluke.

Just a week after getting its first-ever win over powerhouse Wilsonville, the Sherwood girls tennis team did it again.

The Lady Bowmen bested the Wildcats 4-4, with Sherwood getting the victory by winning more total games, 81-78, in a Northwest Oregon Conference dual match held Friday at Wilsonville High.

With that win, combined with a 6-2 victory at Liberty on Tuesday, Sherwood wrapped up the NWOC dual meet championship, going 14-0 in league matches. The Lady Bowmen also went 17-1 on the season with the only loss coming against Jesuit in the title match of the Bend Tournament.

In singles play in Friday’s match at Wilsonville, Sherwood senior Maddie Kirby and junior Jessica Creger each scored three-set victories. Kirby pulled out a 6-2, 0-6, 6-2 win while Creger triumphed by a 6-2, 3-6, 6-0 margin.

In doubles play, the Sherwood team of sophomores Carley Mills and Kelsey Niebergall notched a 6-1, 6-2 win in the No. 2 doubles match.

At No. 3 doubles, the Lady Bowmen duo of senior Gizelle Polanco and sophomore Lydia Ng scored a 6-0, 6-4 victory.

The Sherwood boys and girls tennis teams will next be competing at the Northwest Oregon Conference district tournament, which will be held Monday through Wednesday at the Tualatin Hills Tennis Center in Beaverton.

Action at the district tourney starts at 11 a.m. each day.
