The Catawba Ridge girls’ tennis team got a shutout win beating Lancaster 6-0 to stay undefeated in Region 3-4A play Thursday.
Catawba Ridge won each match in straight sets and lost just seven games in the match with the closest match being No. 1 singles that went to a second set tiebreaker.
Nala Uter won at No. 1 singles for Catawba Ridge winning 6-0, 7-6 (7-2) to get things rolling for the Copperheads.
Gracyn Root won at No. 2 singles and Emerson Brooks won at No. 3 singles for the Copperheads, both by scores of 6-0, 6-0. Sydney Biggers and Katelyn Evans won 6-0, 6-0 at No. 4 and No. 5 singles respectively as well for Catawba Ridge.
In the only doubles match, Skylar White and Abby Russell team up for Catawba Ridge to win 6-1, 6-0.
Because of so many weather related issues for the Copperheads this season, they are playing roughly three matches a week to try and get back on schedule.
Catawba Ridge still needs to play Indian Land twice, along with Northwestern twice and South Pointe one more time. The Copperheads are now 6-1 on the season and 5-0 in region play.
