9 through 16 battled for a spot in the National Invitational Tournament for team racing - also known as the Founders Trophy - happening later this month.Īfter day one, the Vineyarders had raced everybody once, and separated themselves from most of the pack. Held annually at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s sailing camp, schools ranked Nos. 11 out of 60-plus public and private high schools in the New England Schools Sailing Association, qualifying them to compete in the “Terk” on Saturday and Sunday.
Going into this past weekend, the Vineyarders were ranked No. Their April 29 showdown was rained out, so the Island rivals will play a doubleheader on Nantucket this Saturday at 11 am. MVRHS defeated Sandwich and Dennis-Yarmouth earlier this season, but is yet to face the Whalers. This upcoming week, the Vineyarders will have three more Cape and Islands matchups in Sandwich, Dennis-Yarmouth, and finally Nantucket, all away. Up until their matchup with the Clippers on April 28, MVRHS was riding a 26-game winning streak against league opponents. With these victories over Nauset and Barnstable, the Vineyarders have now won 28 of their last 29 Cape and Islands League meetings, and are sitting comfortably in second place behind Falmouth. Aside from a tight super-tiebreaker loss versus Newton North, Giglio is undefeated this season. Reigning Cape and Islands MVP Giglio went 6-0, 6-0, at one singles. Against Barnstable, the trio were especially on their game, and only dropped a total of two games between the three of them. MVRHS continues to be led by senior singles hitters Cali Giglio, Evelyn Brewer, and Andrea Morse, who didn’t drop a single set this past week. The so-called “Tenacious 20” beat the Warriors 3-1, and then proceeded to dominate the Red Hawks 5-0.
This past week, the Vineyarders had two matches: against Nauset on Wednesday, May 3, and against Barnstable on Friday, May 5. Led by trio of seniors, girls’ tennis moves to 5-1 in Cape and Islands play This stretch will feature a matchup between the Islands on Saturday at 12:30 pm, held at the MVRHS Fennessy Courts. Moving forward, the Vineyarders will stay busy, with five matches in the next eight days.
“It’s all so exciting!” Coach Macy stated. Beating the Warriors 4-1, MVRHS handed Nauset its first loss of the season, officially staking their claim atop the Cape and Islands standings. Finally, this past week, the Vineyarders extended their streak to eight games with away wins over Nauset on Wednesday, and Barnstable on Friday.
