Darien had its ninth win of the season, with just two matches to go before FCIACs, against St. Joseph 5-2 at home on Thursday.
The wins came primarily from the doubles duos of seniors
Barry Edgar and captain
Kim Russell (6-0, 6-1),
Amanda Brodsky-Lisa Giannandrea (6-4, 6-4) and
Catherine Stineman-Kyle McCoy (6-1, 6-0).
“Barry and Kim played a strong aggressive match dominating play at the
net,” Darien coach
Kit Reilly said. “Lisa and Amanda pulled out a close
one focusing hard and keeping up with consistent ground stroke winners.”
At singles
Alex Budd (7-6, 7-5) and
Lonneke Eenkema van Dijk (6-3, 6-1) prevailed.
“Alex hung in for her close match sneaking out another winner,” Reilly said. “And Lonneke dominated her singles play 6-3, 6-1.”
The Wave climbs to 9-4 with regular season matches remaining against
Trinity at home on Monday, and at Wilton on Tuesday, with the league
championship tournament beginning on May 15.
