Shrey Maniya made it a clean, scoreless sweep on the singles courts, winning third singles over Sydney Williams, 6-0, 6-0.

At second doubles, Circleville’s Autumn Deroseme and Ryan Jenkins beat Sam Schroeder and Olivia Wayne, 6-4, 6-2.

Washington won a j-v match Wednesday as Josh Cartwright and Rachel Palmer defeated Bob Bailey and Tom Mark in a pro set, 8-1.

Washington’s home match with Unioto, scheduled for Thursday, was cancelled by Unioto so they could make up a league match.

Washington will be back in action in the Sectional tournament Monday in Portsmouth.

The doubles tournament will be held on the courts at Portsmouth High School and Shawnee State is the site of the Sectional singles tournament.
