The match was played indoors at the Chillicothe Racquet Club.

At first singles, state qualifier Sylvia Gray defeated Anita Pursell, 0-6, 0-6.

At second singles, Bayley Thompson beat Neysea Edwards, 6-7, 7-6, 10-2 (the third set was a tiebreaker to 10).

At second doubles, Savannah Wisecup and Kenzie Seyfang beat Eden Griesheimer and Nya Hamed, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1.

“We had a great match,” Miami Trace head coach Kim Schirtzinger said. “Anita played the best she has ever played against Sylvia who is a state qualifier.

“Second singles was a heck of a match,” Schirtzinger said. “Very even players, went to deuce almost every game. It was a great match to watch. Many of our fans commented on how great a match that was to watch.

“At third singles, Alex (King) came up from j-v and filled in for Cameron (Bucher) who is away this week and did a great job winning her match,” Schirtzinger said. First and second doubles both played three sets to win their matches, too.”

Washington is competing in a tournament Saturday at 9 a.m. at Wilmington.

Miami Trace will play at Gardner Park against Washington Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
