Plymouth SportsCULVER – The third time was the charm for the Plymouth girls tennis program Friday night.

The Pilgrims made it three straight sectional championships by defeating host Bremen 5-0. They have now won 16 of the last 17 titles at the tournament.

Plymouth lost a total of just 12 games in downing the Lions in the sectional finale which was moved indoors to the Gable Tennis Complex at Culver Academy due to inclement weather.

Plymouth, now 20-2, will return to Culver Academy on Tuesday night for the regional semifinals. The Pilgrims, who lost 3-2 to Warsaw in the regional final in 2016, will face the winner of the Peru Sectional. The other semifinal Tuesday night will have Warsaw against Rochester.

The Peru Sectional was postponed due to rain Friday and is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday with semifinals, followed by the final. Manchester was leading Maconaquah 3-0 and Peru was up 2-1 on Southwood in semifinal action Thursday night when play was suspended.

The trio of Lanae Singleton, Erin Hunter and Ashley Harrell completed the singles sweep for Plymouth, which won the 32nd sectional title in program history.

Singleton topped Liz Lawmaster 6-0, 6-1 at No. 1, while Hunter beat Nicole Tomlinson 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 and Harrell stopped Emily Smith 6-1, 6-1 at No. 3.

The duo of Kendall Dreibelbis and McKenzie Scheetz won over Lacey Bennett and Maggie Whitinger 6-1, 6-2 on the No. 1 doubles court.

The Plymouth team of Cortni Cook and Leah Smith defeated Bri Andrews and Lindsey Miller 6-1, 6-2 at No. 2 doubles action.
