The Swampscott High School girls tennis team defeated Peabody Veteran\u2019s Memorial High School 5-0 on Monday, marking the Big Blue\u2019s eighth consecutive shutout victory. Overall, the team has won its first 12 matches of the season.
Head Coach Emily Cilley said that throughout all of the wins and keeping an undefeated streak, the team enters each practice and match with the main goal of having fun.
\u201cThe goal is always going to be to have fun and feel good about what you\u2019re doing,\u201d said Cilley. \u201cBeing successful is pretty fun. It\u2019s a little bit of extra drive for the girls to keep it going.\u201d
Two of the players leading the way for the Big Blue are sophomore Nikki Carr and freshman Ginger Gregoire.
Carr regularly starts in the team\u2019s first singles position, typically given to a strong player. She has not lost a match yet this season.
Gregoire pairs talent and mental toughness on the court, which Cilley says has been key to her success.
\u201cShe\u2019s just incredibly good,\u201d said Cilley of the freshman. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t get in her head at all. She\u2019s a very mature player and has a good tennis IQ, which allows her to get through difficult times in a match.\u201d
The team success so far has allowed Cilley to spread valuable playing time across the roster.
\u201cIt’s nice when we play some of the teams that are a little less difficult to be able to play all of the other players on the team,\u201d said Cilley. \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to do a lot of that and that’s been really fun.\u201d
Despite boasting an undefeated record, Cilley said the group hasn\u2019t let the success get into their heads.
\u201cI think they just think it\u2019s fun,\u201d said Cilley. \u201cThey know they\u2019re in a good spot and they just want to keep riding that wave.\u201d
Being good teammates and supporting one another pairs with the team’s talent, Cilley said.
\u201cThe girls are good athletes,\u201d said Cilley. \u201cThey\u2019re good students. They\u2019re smart. They know how to work as a team.\u201d
Monday\u2019s match was the first of a stretch of seven in just eight days. Four of the team\u2019s next six matches are on the road.
\u201cA lot of these girls are in AP testing right now,\u201d said Cilley. \u201cIt\u2019s the end of the year. The seniors are trying to wrap things up, so it’s a lot. These girls have a lot on their plates, but they\u2019re a real smart group and they know how to manage their time well.\u201d
The Big Blue will next take the court on Tuesday at Swampscott Middle School against Gloucester High School.
