Claire played Morgan Brown from Trego and went 7-3, Seana Hanlon of Norton 7-3 and was defeated by Gabby Poels of Phillipsburg 1-7.
In Doubles #1, Gracie and Leavie Riner took on Trego's Coleman and Walt in their first match, winning 7-0. Norton's Wonderly/Breiner were also defeated by the Riner sisters 7-1.

In Doubles #2, Annie Kendig and Cheyenne Knoll started very strong and defeated Trego's Long/MIcek team 7-3. Next up they met Harding/Younkin of Norton and won this with a 7-4 game count.
