The Martinsville girls tennis collected a 5-0 win over visiting
Edgewood on Monday afternoon to improve to 4-6 on the season. The
Artesians completely dominated the Mustangs, as the Martinsville girls

Martinsville junior Carly Cramer set the tone for the meet when
she throttled Edgewood’s Emily O’Mally 6-1, 6-2 at no. 1 singles.
Junior Alex Kirchner then blanked the Mustangs’ Hannah Douglas 6-0, 6-0
at no. 2 singles to give the Artesians a 2-0 lead.
Martinsville sophomore Katie O’Neal downed her Edgewood
opponent, Samantha Lewis, at no. 3 singles by a 6-2, 6-0 score to
secure the win for the Artesains. Juniors Caitie Miller and Alyssa
Elsner added to the Martinsville team total with a 6-0, 6-0 drubbing of
Megan Wright and Jennifer Horne at no. 1 doubles, and senior Ginny
Lobianco and junior Jessika Swafford teamed at no. 2 doubles for
Martinsville to win over Edgewood’s Stephanie Emmons and Morgan Pruitt
by a 6-4, 6-4 margin in the most competitive match of the day.
“We played well,” indicated Martinsville coach Jeff Mcgown.
“Our singles players and no. 1 doubles breezed through their matches,
and our no. 2 doubles team struggled, but they came out with the win.”
The Artesians will be in Bloomington on Thursday to take on the
North high school Cougars in a meet that gets underway at 4:30 p.m.
