The defending East Penn Conference and District 11 champion Parkland girls tennis team is rolling through another regular season.

The Trojans won five matches last week to improve to 13-0 overall and 12-0 in league play with four left on the regular season schedule.

Parkland beat Central Catholic 4-3 last Friday in its closest match this season. Sonia Lee earned a singles point for the Trojans with a 6-4, 6-3, while three PHS doubles teams pulled out three-set victories.

Parkland stayed atop the EPC standings and District 11 rankings with the wins.

The Trojans have three matches remaining this week before they finish the regular season schedule by hosting unbeaten Emmaus on Monday, Sept. 28.

The Trojans are looking to seal their eighth straight unbeaten season in EPC play. They have won five consecutive league and district titles, and six district titles in the past seven years. They have gone unbeaten in league play for each of the past seven seasons, including a shortened 2020 campaign. Parkland hasn’t lost a regular season EPC match since falling to Freedom on Sept. 4 of 2018.
