HOLLIDAYSBURG — Hollidaysburg and Bedford met for the third straight year in the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference tennis championship on Monday.

For the third time, the Lady Tigers came out on top — this time by a 5-0 score.

The two teams entered play undefeated, but Hollidaysburg had no trouble handling Bedford in all five matches.

“Being undefeated coming in, we knew that Bedford once again had another really strong team,” Hollidaysburg coach Brian Denis said. “They have given us all we could handle in the last two championships, and I thought we played really well today.”

Crosby Denis, Grace Muriceak and Emma Moritz were singles winners, while the doubles teams of Taylor Eardley-Brooklyn Klingner and Olivia Panaro-Katherine Wang came out on top.

Hollidaysburg’s record moved to 18-0, while Bedford fell to 16-1.

“Having played Altoona and State College recently really helped us with playing a third straight really solid team,” Brian Denis said. “We will now shift our focus to the first round of the PIAA state playoffs next Tuesday. We are still waiting to see who we play, but any of the top teams from the WPIAL will be extremely talented.”

SINGLES: 1. Denis, H, def. Shuke, 6-1, 6-3; 2. Muriceak, H, def. Ruhlman, 6-0, 6-1; 3. Moritz, H, def. Lohr, 6-0, 6-0.
