The Barrington High School girls' tennis team improved to 11-1 after defeating South Kingstown, 7-0, and Bay View, 6-1, last week.

On Friday, Barrington players also competed in the State Qualifying Tournament. Barrington's top three singles players — freshman Caroline Maher, senior Hope Robertson, and sophomore Beth Wang — all won their matches convincingly and advanced to the State Tournament which will be held at Slater Park, Oct. 20-22. 

Barrington's top two doubles teams — seniors Abigail and Jillian Walter and sophomores Alexis Brenner and Lauren Jay — each won two matches and also advanced to the state tournament.

Barrington will be well-represented with more girls advancing out of qualifying this year than ever before in Coach Betsy Brenner's nine years of leading the Eagles. 

"I am excited for the girls and am really looking forward to states this year," said Coach Brenner. "Our fourth singles player, Andreea Dan and third doubles team of Hope Vetromile and Rayna Mishra each easily won their first round matches in qualifying before being eliminated by strong players in the second round."

Central tailback Arlester Joyner ran for about 250 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown run in the second half. 

Barrington will play at Tolman on Friday night at 7.
