The Providence Journal is proud to announce the 2025 All-State Girls Tennis first and second teams. The Journal Sports staff, with some help from the coaches associations, determines the first- and second-team members.
Ruby Bigda
North Kingstown, Junior
Bigda stepped into the No. 1 spot for the Skippers after a returning All-Stater moved out of state, and her season ended with an All-State debut of her own. Bigda played well atop NK’s order and in her first state singles tourney, she won three matches before being ousted in the semifinal round. Bigda will certainly be a player to watch for in 2026.
Alexa Clark
South Kingstown, Senior
A four-time First Team All-Stater, Clark leaves South Kingstown as the best player in school history. Clark’s bid for a third straight state title was thwarted by Shea’s Amalia Oganesian, but Clark’s resumé is still spectacular – two singles title, three finals, a D-II team title, and she only lost two matches her entire career. Clark will continue playing next fall at Holy Cross.
Ellie Coker-Dodman
East Greenwich, Senior
Coker-Dodman’s career started as a doubles player and it ends as a three-time First Team All-State selection. Coker-Dodman – an accomplished rock climber when she’s not on the court – shined this entire fall as the Avengers’ top player. In her final state tournament, Coker-Dodman battled tough before falling in the quarterfinals to North Kingstown’s Ruby Bigda.
Abigail Ellison
East Providence, Senior
Ellison left little doubt about her talent and earned her second straight First Team All State spot, ending her career as one of the Townies’ all-time great players. Ellison – who played on the boys team her first two seasons – was a force for EP in Division II this fall. While she was unable to play in the state tournament, her talent was more than enough to put her on the team.
Addy Friedman
Barrington, Senior
Friedman moved up from the doubles lineup to hold down the top spot for the Eagles and she performed brilliantly. The senior – a Second Team pick for doubles in 2024 – was a grinder on the singles court and a big reason why Barrington made a return trip to Slater Park. Friedman made the Round of 16 before being dispatched by eventual state champ Amalia Oganesian of Shea.
Ambujam Lohmann
Narragansett, Senior
After two years as a Second Team pick – one in doubles, one singles – Lohman shined in her senior season and closes her career on the First Team. Lohmann was a surprise doubles finalist her sophomore year, then moved onto singles and continued to have success. This fall Lohmann held down the top spot for Narragansett and made the quarterfinals of the state singles tournament.
Amalia Oganesian
Shea, Junior
It was a historic season for Oganesian, who dominated all season and put on a show at the state singles tournament to make her debut as a First Team All Stater. Oganesian became a full-time Raider this fall and breezed through the D-III season. At the state tourney, she cruised through each round before beating South Kingstown’s two-time champ Alexa Clark, becoming the first Pawtucket girl to win the state singles title. You can expect another crown in 2026.
Virginia Royce
Westerly, Junior
A First Team All-Stater as a sophomore, Royce left little doubt about her second straight appearance. Royce maintained her role as the Bulldogs’ top player and was one of Division II’s best players. At the RIIL State Singles Tournament, Royce made her second straight quarterfinals appearance and she’ll enter her senior year as one of the favorites to reach the final.
Olivia Siravo
Prout, Freshman
It was quite the debut season for the Crusaders’ young star and it ended with her first All-State appearance. Graduation left Prout’s ladder thin, but Siravo’s arrival added strength up top and her success at No. 1 was crucial to the team’s run to the Division II title. Siravo had a strong debut at the state singles tournament, reaching the Round of 16. She’ll be a player to watch in 2026.
Julianna Steere
Ponaganset, Junior
Steere has quietly cemented her legacy as one of the best players the Chieftains have produced after her third straight First Team All-State season. While Ponaganset struggled as a team in Division I, Steere remained one of the top players. In the state singles tournament, Steere reached the quarterfinal round for the third straight time and she’ll be a favorite to contend for a title spot as a senior.
Caroline Trask
La Salle, Freshman
Trask was the star of a young and talented Rams’ team that won the state title and saw Trask make her debut as a First Team All-Stater. Trask quickly established herself as one of Rhode Island’s elite players and showed up in a big way at the state singles tourney, reaching the semifinal round. Trask should be a title contender for the remainder of her high school career.
Molly Clark
South Kingstown, Freshman
Tessa O’Sullivan
South Kingstown, Senior
The Rebels duo made history this fall as both make their debut as All-Staters. O’Sullivan and Clark didn’t have a hard time building chemistry on the court – with O’Sullivan handling net play and Clark pounding from the baseline – and in the state doubles tournament, they became the first SK duo to win the doubles championship crown.
