Girls Tennis Competes at D1 State

Under the WIAA’s new competitive balance plan, USM’s girls’ tennis team was promoted from Division 2 to the Division 1 level of state competition for this season.

The tougher competition did nothing to slow the team’s progress, however. After a successful second-place showing at sectionals, the two-time defending Division 2 team state champions headed to Madison, Wisconsin for the 2024 Girls Tennis Individual State Championship meet.  

Angela Wang ’26, the defending Division 2 champion, finished fourth in the D1 singles bracket after two straight trips to the D2 state title match in her first two seasons. Wynter Maitland ’26 made it to the third round of the state championship, where she lost 6-4, 6-2. In doubles, the USM duo of Mia Darr ’25 and Aubrey Jayne ’25 advanced to the fourth round of the tournament, while Haley Erlich ’26 and Lindsey Gardner ’26 advanced to the second round.
