The Glenwood Springs High School girls tennis team will send its No. 1 doubles team to the 3A State Championships in Colorado Springs next weekend.
Playing at the 3A Regionals in Grand Junction on Thursday, seniors Ella Henderson and Emily deMoraes won their championship match over Vail Mountain’s Alli Bennett and Sofia Brunner in three sets.
It didn’t come easy, though.
After winning a hard-fought first set, 7-5, the Demons duo dropped the second set, 0-6. They then battled back to take the deciding set, 6-2.
Henderson and deMoraes carry a 7-2 record into the state tournament, which will be played at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs June 11-12.
