Girls Tennis | Season Preview

With 27 players, the girls' tennis team is one of our biggest programs in CCDS athletics. The 2024 team finished at an even .500 in both the conference and overall competition. This left the Nighthawks sitting at third in the MVC; this season, they're hoping to capture their first MVC Championship since 2012. Three players made it to the OHSAA Southwest Districts last season, and Coach Kyle Scully and her team are making it a goal to send more.

The 2025 team has several key returners who will add to the Nighthawks' success this year. Seniors Caroline and Katherine Connelly had an impressive junior season, making it to Districts. They hold the school records for most doubles matches won in a career and a season. They received All Conference Second Team (doubles) MVC honors and Cincinnati Enquirer All City Second Team (doubles) honors.

Reema Arebi also made it to Districts as a sophomore. She's tied for fifth most single matches won in a season with sophomore Elena Gregorsok. Arebi received All Conference Second Team (singles) MVC honors and Cincinnati Enquirer All City Second Team (singles) honors.

Other notable returners include juniors Gertrude Lazarus and Andrea Sgro Plaut, and senior Ellie Texter, who all received All Conference Honorable Mention MVC honors last season.

This will be an exciting tennis season for the Nighthawks at all levels. The Nighthawks host the CCDS Invitational on August 16, just their second match of the season. On September 20 and hosted on our campus, they will compete in the Coaches Classic, where they are looking to go back-to-back.
