In 2025, Lady Knights Tennis earned their 3rd-ever program bid to the NEPSAC Class “C” Girls Tennis Championships.  The Knights had previously appeared as quarterfinalists in New England's marquee postseason prep tournament in both 2015 and 2021.  

 

This spring, GVT earned the # 7 seed and drew the # 2 seed St. Luke’s.  After departing campus at 6:15 am for a 2.5 hour ride to Millbrook School, NY, the Knights succumbed to a deep and experienced St. Luke’s, 4-0. 

 

But not before Singles #1 Julia Kuzontkowski and Singles #2 Emma Martineau had battled for an hour and 50 minutes and #3 Doubles Regina Gomez and Lauria Lavallee had lost a well-played match, 4-8.

 

2025 season highlights included a huge 3-2 win over perennial power Wheeler School in Seekonk, MA and a 4-3 marathon win against Stoneleigh-Burnham.  Our developmental team also had a solid year learning and growing on the courts at the Cocozza Pavilion and won their road “friendly” in an exciting matchup in Greenfield, Massachusetts.

 

The Lady Knights graduate 2 seniors this season and we appreciate the contributions of 2-year letter-winner Caro and senior #4 singles player Chiara and wish them all the best as they continue their education this fall.

 

As the young Knights look ahead to 2026, they will have a lot to build upon as they return 8 of 10 starters.

 

We also close 2025 with a shout out to a few of the many great tennis rivals we play in our dual match schedule, year-in and year-out, in Class “C” New England.

 

Joining us in the 2025 NEPSAC quarters this year were Pomfret #1, Hamden, Hall #4 and Westover #6.  Congrats to their players and coaches on their success in 2025 as well. Playing matches at this level every week challenges us to get better.

 

Finally, GVT extends sincere thanks to our parents, families, the Athletic Department, school admin, student body, teachers and staff for their ongoing support this season.

 

Good hitting on court this summer, stay safe and see you soon!
