Posted

Five members of the Barrington High School girls tennis team reached the finals or semifinals of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League State Tennis Tournaments this month.

Addy Friedman and Jasmine Malik reached the finals of the doubles tournament. Friedman and Malik, who play as Barrington’s number one doubles team, squared off against a tough team from LaSalle in the finals, Moira Haxton and Alessandra Roye. Friedman and Malik lost in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. 

Friedman and Malik opened the tournament with a forfeit win in the round of 16, then defeated a team from Moses Brown, 6-4, 6-1 in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, Friedman and Malik defeated a team from LaSalle, 6-2, 5-7, 6-1.

Barrington’s number two doubles team of Jillian Frechette and Carla Chen won their opening round match, 6-1, 6-0, against a team from Coventry and then won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, against E. Kendall and M. Thakuria.

In the semifinals, Frechette and Chen lost to the eventual state champs, LaSalle’s Haxton and Roye, 6-3, 6-3. 

In the singles tournament, Ava Koczera-Kasem, Barrington’s number one singles player, advanced to the semifinals before bowing out. 

Koczera-Kasem opened with a 6-0, 6-0 win over a Bay View opponent in the round of 32, and then squared off against her teammate, number two singles player Sadie Spector, in the round of 16. Koczera-Kasem won the match, 6-2, 6-0 and advanced to a quarterfinals showdown against a Westerly player. Koczera-Kasem won that match, 6-4, 6-2, and then lost to a LaSalle opponent in the semifinals. Koczera-Kasem won the first set 7-6 (7-4) before losing the next two, 6-0, 6-1. 

Spector won her opening match in the round of 32, defeating a Bay View player 6-4, 6-4.
