The Christopher High varsity tennis team closed out a busy week – four matches in four days – on the wrong end of a 5-2 decision against Alisal.
For the second time this week, coach Patrick McBrearty was forced to make a number of lineup adjustments – this time due to conflicting schedules with other school events, the third-year coach said.
Adena Chen moved from doubles play to No. 3 singles and came through with a 6-4, 6-3 win. Nubia Juarez jumped from No. 4 singles to No. 2 and prevailed 5-6, 6-2, 11-9.
