BINGHAMTON – The high powered Norwich girls varsity tennis team met their match when they faced off against Horseheads in the STAC Semi-final's match.

The matchup took place at Recreation Park, on Tuesday, Oct. 11, to which Norwich fell to Horseheads 6-1 on the day, ending their regular season.

“We played them tough we had our chances but we were just a little off today,” said Norwich head coach John Stewart.

The rust from an eight day stretch of no live action for Norwich – last played Chenango Forks eight days prior – simply caught up to Norwich.

“I felt our timing on our shots were a little off today. We had very good match play from every position but could not win the big points,” said coach Stewart.

Norwich's lone win in the contest came from Caroline Stewart at second singles. Stewart defeated Mackenzie Hyde in three sets at 6-2, 4-6, and 6-4.
