Lakers roll into sectional semis

MOUNTAIN LAKES _ Daniela Rosen, half of Mountain Lakes' second doubles team, sometimes finds it a challenge to stay focused for each point. Concentration didn't seem to be an issue, though, as Rosen and her partner, Kim Chan, didn't allow Kinnelon to win a game in their match on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
Montville's Kaitlin Sanzone hits a forehand shot during her second singles match.

Campisi finally gains MCT singles title

RANDOLPH _ Villa Walsh's Jamie Campisi typically thrives under pressure. So, when Campisi's game began coming apart late in the second set of the Morris County Tournament final, Campisi figured she'd dig deep, right herself and be OK.
Mendham's Lauren Hernandez, pictured, and Veronika Fojtu won the first doubles title at the Morris County Tournament.

Mendham threepeats in MCT

RANDOLPH _ Veronika Fojtu will never forget how flattered she was when Hayley Keith chose her to be her doubles partner for Mendham. Fojtu was playing second doubles for the junior varsity in the summer of 2011 when Keith asked her to join her. The duo clicked immediately, winning second doubles at the Morris County Tournament.

MCT Tennis gets underway

RANDOLPH _ For the last 24 months, the only thing that has been on Villa Walsh senior Jamie Campisi's mind has been redemption. As a sophomore, she raced out to a 20-5 record and took the top seed in the Morris County Tournament.
Montville's Kirstin Godau, the top seed at first singles, already has won Morris County Tennis Tournament championships at second and third singles.

MCT Tennis seedings announced

MORRISTOWN _ Two of Montville's singles players, Kirstin Godau and Kaitlin Sanzone, received top seeds when the seeding was held for the Morris County Tennis Tournament on Tuesday, Sept. 25. Jillian Garfunkel and Joanna Fass, the Mustangs' second doubles' team, also received a No. 1 seed.
Katie Gutknecht won her third singles match for Mendham to send her record to 7-0.

Mendham has a stellar cast

MENDHAM _ After dropping only one game in the first set, Mendham first singles player Lauren Hassell continued to dominate, going up 5-1 in the second set. Then, just like that, Hassell's game began to unravel. The play of Chatham sophomore Emily Sroczynski had a lot to do with it, as she slugged winner after winner and Hassell briefly lost her rhythm.
Villa Walsh first singles player Jamie Campisi won her first high school match on Friday since returning from a broken wrist.

Herila, Vikings beat Madison

MORRISTOWN _ Katherine Herila's ascent from second doubles on junior varsity to second singles on varsity occurred not over the course of several years but within a span of two weeks. Well aware that all of the positions were open, Herila simply toiled in preseason challenge matches and landed the prime spot right behind Villa Walsh's veteran No. 1 singles player, Jamie Campisi.
Kaitlin Sanzone is Montville's No. 2 singles player.

Montville loaded, optimistic

MONTVILLE _ It is not uncommon for Kirstin Godau to let herself into Kaitlin Sanzone's house. Sanzone, too, goes into Godau's house avoiding the typical methods of entry - ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door.
Parsippany's Jenny Kim hits a backhand during her third singles match.

Red Hawks trimmed in sectional final
