High school sports roundup

Garden City has written another chapter in Nassau County’s most compelling girls tennis story. The seventh-seeded Trojans crashed the Large Schools semifinals on Thursday with a 4-3 quarterfinal victory over second-seeded Roslyn when Angelina Bravo and Chelsea Ching pulled out a deciding 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 victory over the Bulldogs’ Emily Glass and Kaitlyn Yuen at first doubles.

Nassau uses an ability-based method to determine conference placement and all its top teams play together in rigorous Conference I. The Trojans didn’t rate a spot there, played in Conference II-B and won all 14 of their regular-season matches. Despite going 94-4 in individual matches, they got the No. 7 seeding.

Garden City (16-0) will now face No. 3 Hewlett in a Monday semifinal. Nina Wiese won, 6-2, 6-1, at first singles, Sophia Kedrin won, 6-0, 6-0, at second singles and Kayla Castellano won, 6-1, 7-5, at third singles for the Trojans. That brings their mark in individual matches to 105-7. Sophia Carlese and Soshana Ross logged a 6-1, 7-5 victory in doubles for Roslyn (12-3).  — Roger Rubin
