GIRLS TENNIS ROUNDUP: Sequim back in tie for second after beating Bremerton

SEQUIM — The Sequim girls tennis team is back in a three-way tie for second place in the Olympic League with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

The Wolves lost their spot in the second-place logjam that includes Kingston and Bremerton when they lost to league-leading North Kitsap (9-0) last week.

But Kingston beat Bremerton on Thursday and then Sequim beat Kingston 4-3 on Friday at home to move the Wolves back to 6-2 along with the Buccaneers and Knights.

Sequim swept the three singles matches against Kingston on Friday.

Stephanie LaCour took the No. 1 showdown with Emily Shaleen 6-3, 6-3.
