Hopkinton girls’ tennis is on a tear, winning seven of its last eight matches to climb to an 8-3 overall record and 7-2 in league play. Their lone defeat came at the hands of top-ranked Division 3 powerhouse Dover-Sherborn. The Hillers, currently ranked No. 20 in Division 1, showed their mettle in a recent 3-2 thriller over Westwood, a team ranked 13th in D2 with a 6-3 record. The matchup came down to a decisive first doubles match where Swiya Petal and Aarushi Kamra delivered in the clutch, winning a tense third-set tiebreaker to secure the victory. The Hillers’ mix of resilience and depth continues to impress as they push through a challenging slate. Looking ahead, Hopkinton will travel to face Holliston, a solid 4-4 team, in another key league matchup. With playoff implications looming, every match counts for the Hillers as they look to sharpen their form and climb the D1 rankings. If they continue to perform under pressure, they could be a dangerous team in the postseason.
