CINCINNATI — In its first match of the season, Cincinnati Country Day defeated Blanchester 3-2 Monday in a non-league tennis match on the CCD courts.

Blanchester is 3-1 on the year.

“This was a great opportunity to get better as a team and I think we did that,” BHS coach Matt Sexton said. “It was a good final tune-up before league play.”

Maddy Coyle at first singles and the doubles team of Annie Trovillo and Rianna Mueller posted wins for Blanchester.

“Maddy played exceptionally well against a very good player,” Sexton said. “She got a little tight at the end but finished strong.

“First doubles played aggressive and smart tennis to pick up a good win. Grace (Irwin) played her best opponent yet and played very well. The second set was much tighter than the score indicated.”
