West Ranch girls’ tennis defeated Hart, 15-3, on the road and extended their undefeated start to the year.
The Wildcats’ No.1 singles player Ta’leighah Saulter swept all three of her matches to end the day 6-0.
Saulter remains the player to beat this season as she has yet to lose in any of her 18 matches.
“She’s played 18 matches, and each one she won 6-0,” West Ranch head coach Paul Orzsag said in a phone interview. “That to me, was pretty impressive.”
West Ranch won eight singles matches out of nine over the Hawks and in doubles play, won seven matches out of nine.
The Wildcats’ No.1 doubles duo Suprita Yeole and Maddie Park won all three of their matches with a performance that was highlighted by their head coach.
“I’m very proud of these girls,” Orzsag said. “We’re proud of these girls and we’re leading the league so I’m very pleased about it.”
The Wildcats are in first place in the Foothill League standings with Valencia just one game behind with a 5-1 record.
West Ranch narrowly defeated Valencia at home 10-8 earlier in the year.
“We were able to overcome our big foe annually which is Valencia High School,” Orzsag said. “So, that was our great achievement by them, I’m impressed with their teamwork, and I’m impressed with their fantastic results.”
Looking ahead, the Wildcats hit the road on Tuesday at Golden Valley with the first match set to begin at 3 p.m.
