Caroline Houdelette once again passed challenging tests at second singles with a pair of straight-sets victories (6-3, 7-5 against Bourne’s Ainsley Hopwood on May 15 and 6-1, 6-4 against Wareham’s Lon Tran on Monday), as the Old Rochester Regional High School girls tennis team won another pair of 5-0 sweeps. Neva Matos remained invincible at first singles with two 6-0, 6-0 victories, and Grace Hebert only gave up a single game in her two wins at third singles.
The Bulldogs’ two doubles teams of Ella Bishop and Zadie Goyette on first court and Molly Franco and Paige Marotta on second court dominated Wareham, giving up only one doubles game.
The two team victories were the 52nd and 53rd straight regular-season match wins for the Bulldogs, whose regular-season winning streak extends back to 2023, pending this week’s results. ORR took a 15-0 record into their final two scheduled matches against Bourne (10-6) on Tuesday and Dighton-Rehoboth (9-2) on Wednesday.
