In a battle of NE8 rivals and sectional foes, the tennis match between Bellmont and Norwell came down to one court and a three-hour slugfest. With all the other varsity matches decided, the winner between Bellmont\u2019s Emy Faurote and Norwell\u2019s McKenna McNabb would be the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After winning the first set, Faurote was close to making it a straight-set victory, but McNabb forced a tiebreak and outplayed the Bellmont senior in the tiebreak format, forcing a third set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmy found confidence in her strokes again,\u201d noted Bellmont head coach Kyle Arnold. \u201cShe pushed herself to a 6-1 win in that clinching set.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Selking and Leila Jin of Bellmont each continued their winning streaks at No. 1 and No. 3 singles, respectively. They’ve now each won seven matches in a row. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo. 1 and 2 Doubles played well again,\u201d said Arnold, \u201cbut both faced very strong Norwell teams tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNorwell has an extremely tough and talented team. Definitely a team I expect to encounter again in sectional at the end of May. Even their JV was elite, winning 11 of the 12 reserve courts tonight,\u201d noted Arnold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
