CONKLIN – The Norwich Purple Tornado tennis team is now an astounding 7-1 overall – after their latest 6-1 win over Susquehanna Valley.

Norwich traveled to Susquehanna Valley High School on Thursday, September 21, for what was a rematch with the Sabers – a match that Norwich won with some difficulty at 5-2, and with three points being three-setters.

This time around, there was a vast improvement of individual play across the board – resulting in a much cleaner 6-1 win on the road.

“Tonight’s 6-1 win shows that we continue to improve. My concern was a letdown after yesterday’s big win against Vestal. We played solid from start to finish,” said Norwich coach John Stewart. “This was one of the toughest three match runs that I can remember, these girls are fighters and tough competitors, it is awesome what they did.”

Coming off an upset win over Vestal on Wednesday, the Tornado girls were given not time to enjoy the win – let alone any down time. Playing again the very next evening, it was once again first doubles who secured the fourth and winning point for Norwich.

Riley Marsh and Natalie Benenati easily downed Amber Adams and Jocelyn Jackowski in straight sets at 6-4 and 6-2.
