LINEBERRY — The Jordan-Matthews girls’ tennis team closed out the regular season last week in Lineberry with a 9-0 smashing of host Providence Grove in 2A PAC 7 Conference action.

The Lady Jets improved to 6-2 in the league and to 6-5 overall with the victory while Providence Grove dropped to 1-7 in the PAC 7 and to 1-9 overall.

Jordan-Matthews takes the No. 2 into the conference tournament which was slated to begin on Tuesday in Siler City. Wheatmore won the league with a 10-0 mark and is currently 15-2 overall.

But last week in Lineberry, it was all Lady Jets as the locals dominated from the outset.

At No. 3, Jenny Huang pounded Tia Meredith 10-1 to send the Jets in front 3-0 before Ashlyn Ray belted Victoria Simmons 10-2 at No. 4.

Daisy Gaspar routed Tierra Stubbs 10-1 at No. 5 to clinch the match victory for Jordan-Matthews and Ruby Jacinto blasted Gaby Gil 10-0 at No. 6 to complete the singles sweep for the Lady Jets.

In double’s action, Headen and Andrews joined forces to mash Tuck and Taylor 8-1 at No. 1 while Ray and Huang cruised past Meredith and Simmons 8-0 at No. 2.

Gaspar and Jacinto took down Stubbs and Gil at No. 3 by an 8-1 count to close out the 9-0 match win.
