Conrad, Adams win EPC titles

After rainy weather postponed the East Penn Conference tennis tournament both Oct. 1 and Oct. 2, things finally concluded on Oct. 17.

Madelyn Conrad won at number two singles for Liberty, and Brooke Adams was the champion at number three singles for Bethlehem Catholic last month at Parkland High School.

Conrad defeated Nazareth’s Alison Smith for the title.

“It was my goal after I lost last year. I’m so happy. I just played the best I could. I came to the net, and I had good serves,” she said.

Conrad won by a score of 10-1.

“It was a good experience, and I’m feeling good about my game, winning by that much. Coming off a bronze helped my confidence,” said Conrad.

Adams defeated Nazareth’s Amber Achenbach.

“I was really happy. It was nice when my coach put the medal over my neck,” she said.

Adams’s score was 10-8.

“I was up by a lot in the beginning, 4-0, but once we switched sides, she started getting calm. Then she was up 5-4, and I was frustrated, and the wind was a factor, so I tried to focus,” said Adams.

In EPC doubles, Becahi’s Gabby Duffy and Tori Evert defeated Allentown Central Catholic’s Margaret Fleck and Emma Gordon at number three doubles for the gold medal by a score of 10-4.

Also from Becahi, Allie Palmisano and Bailee Deshler won the tournament at number four doubles after defeating Central’s Hallie Niechwiadowicz and Erin Skibbons.

Deshler said, “It’s just amazing because we worked so hard over the season.”

Deshler and Palmisano won by a score of 10-7.

“It was really windy and none of our shots were going in, but we pulled through and got the win,” said Palmisano.

As a team, Becahi was crowned the regular season champion and the EPC Tournament champion.
