Blair girls travelled on Wednesday to the Harvard Club in New York City to play and beat the Brearley school. The team won 6-3 despite the long ride into the city and having to play more than half of their matches on non-standard courts.

Emma Moore started out with a confident 3-0 win immediately followed by San Tripathi's victory. Also, NadiaRose El-Erian gave the public a taste of her powerful game by winning 3-2 after being down 2-1. Haley San Giacomo and Julia Brackup also left the courts heads high, not giving a single game to their opponent. And, Nghi Nguyen, a freshman, won her first match. All the girls played with elegance and force, starting the season off with a great win against the Brearley School. |
