On a day when both teams used their platform to help raise awareness for multiple sclerosis, Great Neck North and Roslyn took to the courts in a Nassau County Conference I showdown.

And it was the Blazers who came out on top, winning 6-1 to improve its overall record to 5-2 on the season.

“It was a pleasure watching the Roslyn and Great Neck North girls tennis teams come together for this special event as we recognize MS awareness throughout Nassau County girls’ tennis,” said Michael Kazin, Great Neck North’s head coach. “MS affects the lives of over one million people in the United States and we will continue to raise awareness. Great Neck North raised over $600 through our bake sales, and we thank Roslyn for being a part of this special day.”

Great Neck North would win all three singles flights, and Lauren Yu and Barrett Kanfer clinched their team’s win with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win over Julia Friedman and Skylar Schuman at third doubles.

“I came out a little rusty in the first two sets but I managed to recuperate and get my game together to close the match off,” added Alina Lyakhov, who won a three-set match at second singles. “Overall, it was a great match.”

MS Awareness was on display throughout Nassau County on Monday, including at the match between Lynbrook and Massapequa. Lynbrook head coach Shari Bowes even designed and made special shirts in honor of the occasion, and the two teams raised money via bake sales as well.

Members of the Lynbrook Owls and Massapequa Chiefs teamed up to raise awareness for multiple sclerosis during their match on Monday. 

 

Lexie Samelson and Ava Schwam won 6-1, 7-5 at third doubles to help lead Lynbrook to the 6-1 victory.

In a showdown between two of the top players in the county, Rachel Arbitman of Hewlett took on Cold Spring Harbor’s Merri Kelly Hannity with the overall team match on the line.  In a thrilling battle at first singles, Arbitman came back from a set down to edge Hannity 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 and clinch the win for Hewlett.
