Ephrata Ready for Leagues

ImageAfter finishing an outstanding 10-4 regular season campaign, the Ephrata girls' tennis team will look to carry that success into the Lancaster-Lebanon League Tournament, which begins Thursday at various sites throughout the county.

The Lady Mounts enter the tourney, which continues Saturday before finishing up next Monday (at CV both days), with some lofty expectations.

In addition to being represented in all five singles flights and both doubles, Lily Sears and Megan Royer each have garnered #2 seeds in their respective singles flights, while that tandem is the top seed (12-1 record) in Flight Two doubles.

Sears, 12-2 at number two this year, sports the top singles record on the team while Royer was 11-3 in the third spot.

The last two years, Royer, a senior co-captain has bowed out in the semifinals at leagues. This year, her goal is to take that next step.

"I just want to get farther than I did the last two year," she said Tuesday. "I feel comfortable since I've been there before so I hope to use that experience to my advantage this time around."

Another player with high expectations this week is Flight 4 player Amy Sherman (10-4), a senior co-captain who made the finals a year ago at number five.

"I just want to have fun, take it game by game and just go as far as I can," Sherman said.

The other two team members who will be competing are Lauren Donmoyer (5-9) in flight One and Lindsay Miller (5-9) in Flight 5.

The top-seeded doubles team of Sears and Royer will be joined by Ephrata's #1 team of Donmoyer and Sherman, who earned a hard-fought 7-5, 6-4 victory over Lancaster Country Day in preliminary action Monday.

The following are the scheduled first round L-L matches:

Flight One (at CV): Donmoyer vs. Chelsey Bollinger (Warwick). Donmoyer earlier in the year lost to Bollinger 1-6, 1-6.

Flight Two (at Warwick): Sears vs Rebekah Shanaman (Elco). Ephrata did not play Elco this year.

Flight Three (at Ephrata): Royer vs Kim Vo (Elco). Ephrata did not play Elco this year.

Flight Four (at McCaskey): Sherman vs Janelle Krantz (Solanco). Sherman lost to Krantz earlier in the year 6-2, 3-6, 5-10.

Flight Five (at Man. Town.): Miller vs Dani Klim (E-town). Miller lost to Klim earlier in the year 6-7, 3-6.

Flight One Doubles (at CV): Donmoyer and Sherman vs. Lindy Beamesderfer and Nicole Meckley (Cocalico). Ephrata did not play this combination this year.

Flight Two Doubles (at CV): Sears and Royer vs DeVries and Sinopoli (L-S). Ephrata did not play L-S this year.

The semifinals will be held at Conestoga Valley Saturday with the finals also at that site Monday afternoon.
