The East Hampton High School girls tennis team, which wound up as the runner-up to undefeated Westhampton Beach in league play, won a first-round county team tournament match Friday, defeating William Floyd 6-1 here, the sole loss coming at first doubles. All of East Hampton’s singles players, Rebecca Kuperschmid, Juliana Barahona, Caroline Micallif, and Katie Annicelli, won, in straight sets.

Eva Wojtusiak and Kaylee Mendelman won 6-3, 5-7, (10-6) at second doubles, and Annelise Mendelman and Sammi Schurr won 6-2, 2-6, (10-2) at third doubles.

On Saturday, as expected, second-seeded Westhampton Beach defeated the seventh-seeded Bonackers, by a score of 6-1.

East Hampton’s coach, Kevin McConville, said recently that he thought Commack, the tournament’s top seed, was, indeed, the county’s best team.
