The Colonials overcame adversity along the way, as number one singles player Anabel Van Cott has been injured since the fifth match of the season. In her absence, the singles lineup elevated their play and worked hard to improve throughout the season. The singles lineup right now includes Lydia Van Cott, Khloe DiMaio, Trinity Lyons and Madison Lockwood, who have all been playing well. The Colonials are hoping to have Anabel Van Cott back playing singles for the playoffs.
The doubles team also played a big role in William Floyd’s success, showing continuous signs of improvement while playing strong tennis. The doubles team includes Gianna Martin, Drew Wiegand, Olivia Phillips, Tatiana Sanchez, Corinne Neidig, Nadia Da Gama Paes, Rylie Wiegand, Brooklyn Barnes, and Renae Kelly.
The Colonials continue to work hard as they prepare for the playoffs.
The team also put forth a strong showing in the Division Individual Tournament and numerous players received athletic honors for their performance this season, including Lydia Van Cott, Gianna Martin and Drew Wiegand who earned All-County honors. Olivia Phillips and Tatiana Sanchez earned All-Division accolades; and Nadia Da Gama Paes, Corinne Neidig, Rylie Wiegand and Trinity Lyons earned All-League honors.
