SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Springs varsity girls tennis team won the Section 2, Class AA championship last Friday, defeating the previously undefeated Guilderland 6-3. It was the Blue Streaks’ first sectional title since 2013.
To reach the championship game, Saratoga bested Colonie 9-0 in the quarterfinals before dispatching Shaker 8-1 in the semifinals.
Following their victory against Guilderland, Saratoga was next scheduled to face off against Class A champs Queensbury for a shot at regionals.
Despite not winning sectionals in more than a decade, Saratoga’s girls tennis program has produced a number of success stories in recent years. Last year, the doubles team of Clare Dooley and Addison Jones competed in the state championships after a strong showing at sectionals. The previous year, that same tandem brought home the Section 2 doubles title.
