The Lady Eagles had focus, were quick on their feet and had looks of determination on their faces.

“I think today went really well for all of us,” said Windham senior Chloe McVetty. “I think ... our girls are just really strong this year; we’ve been practicing really hard and it’s paying off for us. We’re super happy to get to be on the court and to get to have our parents out (as spectators) is amazing.”

In the singles matches, Windham senior Rebecca Hamel defeated Deering 6-1 and 6-3. Windham sophomore Grace Paiement lost 6-4 and 6-1; Windham freshman Alyssa Conley won 6-0 and 6-0.

In the doubles matches Windham seniors McVetty and Nicole Snow won 6-0 and 6-0. Windham senior Gianna Stevens and Windham junior Felicie LePoutre won their matches 6-0 and 6-1.

“After the first practice, the first day, I was amazed by how quickly they progressed and every day (this team) is getting stronger and stronger,” said Windham coach Katy Dresnok.

According to Dresnok, Windham played solid matches against Deering.

“The singles one and two were nicely matched up and competitive and the doubles teams are working nicely together and getting into their groove as the season progresses,” she said. <
