Homestead sophomore Aly Coran made it two in a row at the WIAA Division 1 individual state girls tennis tournament on Saturday, taking a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Kenosha Bradford sophomore Karyn Guttormsen in the final at Nielsen Tennis Stadium in Madison.
Coran, who hasn't lost a match in two years of high school competition, finished this season with a 37-0 record. She survived a tough first set to beat Onalaska sophomore Maddie Johnson in the semifinals, 7-5, 6-0.
Guttormsen advanced to the final with a 7-6, 6-2 victory over Nicolet senior Jennifer Winston.
Junior Tara Robey and sophomore Sarah Woods of Milwaukee Divine Savior Holy Angels took the Division 1 doubles title, beating Homestead junior Dani Merar and senior Kristin Swenson in the final, 6-2, 6-3. It marked the second consecutive year that a DSHA entry won the doubles title.
Homestead showed its strength in the semifinal round, as the Highlanders' No. 2 team, Merar and Swenson, beat top-seeded teammates Brittany Watchmaker (a senior) and Corey Mattson (a junior), 7-5, 6-3.
Top-seeded Shannon Etten of Appleton Xavier took the Division 2 singles title with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over University School of Milwaukee freshman Maddy Ecker. Manitowoc Roncalli seniors Elissa Halla and Natalie Foster held their No. 1 seeding to win the Division 2 doubles title.
Top teams return to Madison on Friday for the state team tournament. Homestead is favored in Division 1 and University School is picked to repeat in Division 2.
