Scranton Prep\u2019s team of Lily Lengyel and Emma Cuck, and Abington Heights\u2019 pairing of Amishi Amit and Sammy Rosenstein, won their respective District 2 Doubles Championship matches on Friday at Kirby Park.<\/p>\n
Both teams advance to the PIAA Championships that start Oct. 31 at the Hershey Racquet Club.<\/p>\n
Lengyel and Cuck, who helped lead the Classics to the District 2 Class 2A team title while playing at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, had a pair of wins in straight sets to capture the gold medals.<\/p>\n
In the semifinals, Lengyel-Cuck defeated Dallas\u2019 Catlin Finn and Mahi Dohl, 6-0, 6-2. They captured the title with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Montrose\u2019s team of Anna Evans and Erin Tillotson.<\/p>\n
Scranton Prep\u2019s team advances to the PIAA Tournament. It is also the third straight time that Lengyel has won a District 2 Doubles title. She teamed with Alyssa Wigley to capture the tournaments in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
Evans, a freshman, and Tillotson defeated Scranton Prep\u2019s second semifinal team of Adithi Velaga and Hannah LaCoe, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, to reach the final.<\/p>\n
In Class 3A, it was an all-Abington Heights final in doubles, just as it was in the singles tournament.<\/p>\n
Amit, who finished as the runner-up to teammate Sona Hanumali in the singles final, and Rosenstein, the No. 3 singles player all season for the Lady Comets, defeated Kate Arp and Elsie Phillips, 6-1, 6-4.<\/p>\n
The two Abington Heights teams earned their spots in the final with hard-fought three-set wins in the semifinals.<\/p>\n
Amit-Rosenstein defeated Wallenpaupack\u2019s team of Victoria Latek and Addy Ezzo, 7-5, 2-6, 7-5. Arp and Phillips beat North Pocono\u2019s team of Anna Clementoni and Cam Forgione, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.<\/p>\n
