Panther netters open fall season in hasty manner

While most Glencoe-Silver Lake sports teams still have at least another week before opening their respective 2018 seasons, the Panthers girls’ tennis team is already four competitions into its fall campaign.
GSL opened its autumn schedule on Friday, Aug. 17, at Jordan. It was a rough entry into the season as the host Jaguars served up a 7-0 defeat to the Panthers.
No. 1 singles player Justine Helmbrecht fell in straight sets to Emily Henderson, while Lily Schmidt lost 1-6, 1-6 to Emily Randolph. No. 4 single Katelyn Lemke also fell 1-6, 1-6 to Ella Bounds, while No. 3 singles Krissy Major put up a fight before losing 5-7, 2-6 to Jolie Wulf.
Jordan similarly swept through the doubles competition.
