The Lady Aces dropped both of their matches yesterday. They lost to Sacred Heart Academy 7-2 and Greenwood 9-0. Against Sacred Heart Academy, Ella Cason and Lexie Moyers won their singles matches.
“Both of our teams played hard and for our first two matches we are pleased,” Owensboro Catholic head coach Noel Clayton said. “The boys lost two doubles tiebreakers, or we could have won the match against a very good Greenwood team. Our girls’ teams lost six girls from last year and it will take us a while to get up to speed. We probably played the top two girls’ teams in the state for our first match, so it was great experience.”
