WILMINGTON – Claire Burns was the lone winner Wednesday as the Wilmington High School tennis team was defeated by Loveland 4-1 in a non-league match on the WHS courts.

The Lady Hurricane drops to 4-2 on the year.

“This match was undecided with two courts still on,” WHS coach Doug Cooper said.

Burns posted a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 win over Anna Svitkovich, who was a district qualifier in 2018 and already posted a win over a state qualifier this season.

“Claire played very smart tennis and was in command of her game,” said Cooper. “This was a high quality win for Claire.”

Allie Kees lost in three sets.

“Tonight I saw Allie and Claire’s best tennis,” the WHS coach said.

Jenna Taylor and Emilee Pham forced a tiebreaker in the second set before falling at first doubles.
