GLENDALE — There hasn’t been much activity during the early stages of the season for the Glendale High and Hoover girls’ tennis teams entering their Pacific League opener against each other Tuesday.
Prior to Tuesday, Hoover had played just one match. Glendale, on the other hand, had yet to partake in a contest.
After shaking off the rust, Glendale proceeded to win seven doubles sets to register a 13-5 home victory.
“It’s kind of scary not to have played at least one nonleague match before starting off league,” said Glendale Coach Bob Davidson, whose team also won six singles sets in the first of two head-to-head matchups with Hoover (1-1). “We were supposed to play [Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy] Monday, but that got scrapped.
“I thought we came out well and responded when we needed to. We won a couple of tie-breakers that helped swing things in our favor. I thought our doubles played very well.”
