Lady Cards honor senior duo

PILOT MOUNTAIN — East Surry honored two senior tennis players prior to Wednesday’s double header against Winston-Salem Prep.

Marlie Easter and Ripley Cottrell were recognized as part of the team’s Senior Night. Both girls suited up for action in the match and walked away with wins against the Phoenix.

Winston-Salem Prep only had four girls. As a result, East started each match with a 3-0 advantage thanks to forfeits in No. 5 singles, No. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles.

The Lady Cardinals improved to 7-2 on the season by blanking Prep both times. The Phoenix didn’t win a game in either singles or doubles.

East’s No. 1 seed Tara Martin improved her singles record to 9-0 with two wins over Tatyana Williams. No. 2 seed Evelyn Ruedisueli improved to 7-2 with a pair of wins over Dayjezan Orteiz.

Cottrell and Easter won their matches in the No. 3 and No. 4 spots. Cottrell downed Alayna Perez in No. 3 singles and Easter defeated Kaloni McEacheran in No. 4 singles.

Martin and Ruedisueli improved to 5-0 as a team with wins over Williams and Orteiz in No. 1 doubles, while Easter and Cottrell won their first two matches as a team.

East Surry will compete against Mount Airy on June 7. If the Lady Cards win, they will finish second in the Northwest 1A Conference and Mount Airy will take third. If the Lady Bears win, the two teams will share second place.
