— The Steamboat Springs High School girls’ tennis team defeated host Evergreen 4-3 Wednesday, a make-up match that had originally been scheduled for March 15.

While the Sailors won the match, it did come at a cost — the loss of No. 1 singles player Maddie Labor. Labor, who was winning the third set, injured either her hamstring or knee and was forced to leave the match. She will see a doctor Thursday to determine the severity of the injury.

No. 2 singles player Maddie Thompson cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory, while No. 3 singles player Lily Fox fell 6-3, 6-3.



“Maddie Thompson just played a real solid match,” SSHS coach John Aragon said. “She didn’t give that girl much breathing room. From start to finish, she dominated the match.”

The Sailors went 3-1 in doubles matches. The No. 1 duo of Sydney Boyd and Sabina Berend won in two sets, while the No. 2 duo of Surina Techarukpong and Anna Allsberry fell in two sets.



Aragon was especially proud of the No. 3 (Natalie Simon, Jordyn Hetrick) and No. 4 (Fena Metzler, Amanda Walker) doubles teams, as it was their wins that made the difference in the match.

Steamboat next plays at Thompson Valley on Friday and at Fossil Ridge on Saturday.
