The Waynflete Flyers defeated the Boothbay Region Seahawks 3-2 in a Class C South quarterfinal tournament match-up in Boothbay Harbor on Tuesday, May 30.

The fourth-seeded Seahawks finish the season at 7-4 while fifth-seeded Waynflete improved to 8-5 and will play the winner of top-seeded Spruce Mountain and eighth-seeded Oak Hill in a semifinal match.

Seahawk coach Alex Arsenault had only four players on the team this season and despite usually forfeiting both doubles matches during the season, the singles players managed to give the team seven wins.

Against Waynflete, Boothbay’s top player, sophomore Laura Chapman, continued her dominance in Class C with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Luccia Moraes.

Second singles player, senior Hannah Roberts, came back from a first set loss to defeat Maeve Metchenberg, 5-7, 6-1, 6-0.

Boothbay’s third singles player, senior Savannah Compare, won her first set but lost the match, 6-4, 1-6, 3-6, to Waynflete’s Liza Lawson.

Waynflete took the doubles matches by default.
