LEES CREEK — The East Clinton High School tennis team lost a close match to Western Brown in Southern Buckeye Conference action on Tuesday.

The Lady Astros are now 3-6 on the season and 2-3 in the SBC.

EC got wins from both doubles teams.

Jamie Sholler and Ashley Evans won in a three-set match — 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

At second doubles, Brittany Carpenter and Brandie Thompson won 6-1, 7-5.

In singles action, Amber Boris battled at first singles, but fell 4-6, 6-3, 6-0.

“I think we’ve finally reached the turning point on this losing streak we’ve been on. Everyone played well today and was much more consistent. It was great to see both doubles teams come out with victories. We have to expect that every time out for the rest of our league schedule,” said EC head coach Tom Kitchen. “Amber Boris had a tough match at first singles against a very good opponent. Amber lost in two sets to her last year and Fischer was American Division player of the year. Amber played very smart against her and has shown she is continuing to improve. We need to count on her for the rest of our league matches as well.

“Tara McKenzie and Emily Nunn played as well as they’ve played all year unfortunately weren’t able to get the victory in their singles matches. If they continue to play that well, we’ll be able to count on them for league matches as well.”

The Lady Astros will return to action Thursday at CNE.
