The second round was as far as the Huntington North High School girls' tennis team could go in the Norwell sectional, falling to Bellmont, 3-2, on Friday, May 22, after beating Bluffton by the same score on Thursday, May 21.
Abby Berry at second singles and the No. 2 doubles team of Taylor Willcox and Karissa Miller both won three-set matches for HNHS, which finishes at 10-6 on the season.
Both Berry and the doubles team took tough 5-7 losses in the first set, but then scrapped out 6-3, 6-2 wins.
Whitney Neuenschwander at first singles lost 1-6, 3-6,
Taryn Wuensch at third singles lost 2-6, 3-6, and the No. 1 doubles team of Kourtney Brubaker and Whitney Switzer fell 3-6, 2-6.
The story was different on Thursday, May 21, as the Lady Vikes wound up on the winning end of the 3-2 margin. Wuensch at No. 3 singles and the doubles teams of Brubaker and Switzer and Willcox and Miller pushed HNHS into the second round.
