Expand<\/a><\/p>\nS. ABINGTON TWP. \u2014 Scranton Prep\u2019s reign as PIAA Class 2A tennis champion is over.<\/p>\n
Allentown Central Catholic, the District 11 champion, defeated the Classics, 3-1, on Tuesday in the first round of the team tournament at Birchwood Racquet Club.<\/p>\n
Scranton Prep, which won state titles last season and in 2023, and was runner-up in 2024, finishes the season 15-3. The Classics had eliminated ACC in the first round in each of the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been the experience of a lifetime,\u201d Scranton Prep four-year starter Lily Lengyel said. \u201cI could not be more grateful or more proud to be a part of such a great team. Being a part of a high school team taught me how to love tennis.\u201c<\/p>\n
Lengyel won at No. 1 singles, beating Maddie Goff, 6-1, 6-2 to improve to 11-1 all-time in the state tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really happy with how I played,\u201d Lengyel said. \u201cI played totally with the team in mind and how I could help this team win and advance.\u201d<\/p>\n
ACC\u2019s Giada Montone evened the overall match with a win over Hannah LaCoe, 6-0, 6-2.<\/p>\n
ACC took the victory by sweeping the doubles matches.<\/p>\n
Julia Janis-Michaela Durie defeated Donatella DeNaples-Sage Michel, 6-4, 6-2, at No. 1.<\/p>\n
Charlotte Hood-Carly Eisenhard rallied to beat Scranton Prep\u2019s Grace James-Mia Bovani, 1-6, 6-0, 6-3, to clinch the win.<\/p>\n
ACC\u2019s Valentina Munoz led Adithi Velaga, 6-2, 3-3 when the match was halted.<\/p>\n
For Lengyel and Velaga, the District 2 doubles champions, their focus shifts to that tournament that starts Nov. 6 at the Hershey Racquet Club.<\/p>\n
Last season, Lengyel won the state doubles crown with Emma Cuck, who graduated.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a mindset shift and an adjustment,\u201d Lengyel said. \u201cI am so excited to play with Adithi and I love doubles, so I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
