Girls Tennis Opens ECC Play In Week Ahead
SETTING THE SCENE: The Lady Eagles are back in action, and will face two Eastern Cincinnati Conference opponents in the second week of the season. Milford will head to Mount Notre Dame for a non-conference match, followed by a trip to the ECC’s Turpin. The Eagles will end the week hosting Walnut Hills of the ECC.
A LOOK BACK: Last week found the team starting the season at Bellbrook High School for the first round of the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Southwest Ohio Division I 2017 Girls Team Tournament. Milford exits the tournament after falling to Bellbrook, 5-0.
The Eagles also took on Seven Hills in a non-conference date, who opened the season ranked #2 in the Division II Enquirer’s area coaches’ poll. The Stingers took down the Eagles, 5-0
Individual results from both Bellbrook and Seven Hills will be posted when available.
A LOOK AHEAD: The Lady Eagles face a challenging week ahead, as they face three programs who were ranked in the top ten of last week’s preseason coaches’ poll including Turpin of the ECC, and Mount Notre Dame, tied for fifth. Milford will host their first home game with another conference foe, Walnut Hills (#10), to end the week.
