North Hunterdon returns a solid core from its 13-4 team last year and is looking to do even better. The Lions finished second in the HWS Tournament and defeated Kearny, 5-0, in the first round of the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 tournament before falling to Ridge in the quarterfinals.
North Hunterdon will return four of its top five players for the 2016 season, losing only second-singles player Jessica Graham. Sophomore Alexa Vasile is back to lock down first singles after a solid freshman season, finishing with eight wins. Junior Kiera Horun played well at third singles last year with a 13-4 record and is ready to replace Graham at second singles.
Seniors Hannah Trinity and Catrina Gutescu are back after going 13-3 at first doubles, which gave North Hunterdon a duo it could count on, although Trinity will move up to play third singles. Senior Ana Vlad will be Gutescu’s partner at first doubles.
