Just one week after claiming the regular season Southeast Conference championship, the Tremper girls tennis team is one step closer to securing the SEC Tournament title as well.

The Trojans won all 11 of their matches in the opening rounds of the rain-shortened SEC Tournament Thursday at numerous local courts. The two-day event was suspended late in the day and will continue 7 a.m. Saturday at Bradford and Tremper.

“It went well,” Tremper co-coach Tom Pacetti said. “We are right where we need to be.”

Tremper had at least one victory at each of the seven flights.

Megan Humphreys went 2-0 at No. 1 singles, Garette Gessert went 1-0 at No. 2 singles, Rachel Shapiro went 2-0 at No. 3 singles and Julia Broesch went 1-0 at No. 4 singles.

The Trojans’ No. 1 doubles team of Jenna Humphreys and Brianna Riley and Tremper’s No. 2 doubles’ team of Sonja Johnson and Kari Kirkagaard each went 2-0. Tremper’s Hollie White and Mara Bertog went 1-0 at No. 3 doubles.

Bradford, the defending SEC Tournament champion, won all six of its singles’ matches. Karyn Guttormsen went 2-0 at No. 1 singles, Trina Capelli went 1-0 at No. 2 singles, Kim Jozefiak went 1-0 at No. 3 singles and Megha Shah went 2-0 at No. 4 singles.

The Red Devils’ No. 1 doubles team of Paige Pfarr and Marissa Garetto went 0-1, while Bradford’s No. 2 doubles team of Hannah Zimmerman and Alyssa Perugini went 1-1. Bradford’s Bryanna VanBlarcom and Alana Wamboldt went 1-0 at No. 3 doubles.
