Tehachapi started their season off with a convincing victory, taking a 9-0 match win over McFarland with strong contributions by a host of Lady Warriors.
Chelsea Maduena and Megan Raphael teamed up to win their first doubles match 6-1, 6-1; Serena West took down her opposition 6-2, 6-2; Katja Thacker won her match 7-5, 6-2; and Lizzy Ruckhaber defeated her opponent 6-2 6-1.
“I expected that we would do well,” said head coach Jim True. “McFarland was starting off with a deficit without a junior varsity and the depth that we had helped us a great deal.”
Other match wins came from Chelseas Maduena in singles 6-3, 3-6 (7-5); Kaity Lange in singles 6-0, 6-1; Mia Franco and Bonnie Strauss in doubles 7-5, 1-6 (10-5); Katie Burford and Brown 6-0, 0-6 (10-4); and Kaitlyn Seigmund and Kelcy Balker in doubles 6-1, 4-6 (10-4).
Tehachapi will have a non-league match against Kern Valley this Wednesday at the high school courts at 3:30 p.m. and league contest against Taft on the road on Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
