Haddonfield Dominates Middle Township to Take South Jersey Tennis Title

The Haddonfield High School girls' tennis team treated Monday's South Jersey final the way it treated its two previous playoff matches.

Top-seeded Haddonfield shut out No. 2 Middle Township, 5-0, to win the South Jersey Group 2 championship, according to nj.com.

Haddonfield advances to the State Group 2 tournament, which begins Wednesday.

The three singles players and the first doubles team didn't give up a point. Victoria Martinez defeated Taylor Schad, 6-0, 6-0; Amanda Lanciano defeated Jen Ney, 6-0, 6-0; and Erica Pascocello defeated Ashley Ryan, 6-0, 6-0.

The first doubles team of Chelsea Brown and Arpie Senopoulos continued the trend with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Derby Crowding and Chelsea Fossett.

The second doubles team picked up a two-set victory over Maddie Ellis and Lauren Novsak, 6-2, 6-1.

Haddonfield also secured shutout wins in its first two playoff matches, defeating No. 8 Haddon Heights and No. 4 Woodstown, 5-0.

Middle Township had virtually no problem dispatching its playoff opponents before Monday, defeating West Deptford and Collingswood, both by scores of 4-1.

But Middle Township ran into a problem when it encountered Haddonfield. The Bulldawgs improved to 26-1, while Middle Township fell to 11-2.
