Heather Harris won when a Lions’ player had to retire due to an on court injury. Other wins came from Jeaux Leigh Cantu, Zoe Wilson and Harleigh Stegient.
The Wildcats also captured three boys doubles matches. Winning were Lucas and Jonah Kirkpatrick, Crouch and Lopez and McCord and Brandon Dittrich. Winning a mixed doubles match was the team of Gonzales and Cantu.
Wildcats Tennis Coach Tony Martinez said he hoped the win was one the team could build upon. The Wildcats improved their season record to 1-4.
