The Broughton Women's Tennis team could not overcome nerves to secure the season opener from a vastly improved Leesville Road team. The lone singles winner was sophomore Becket Waters defeating Helen Alvis , 7-5, 7-6 (8-6). Although many of the other matches were well played, the Lady Caps struggled in their respective second sets to overcome the Leesville women.  The Lady Caps have their first home match against the Millbrook Wildcats on Thursday, August 25, 2016 at 4pm. Come out and cheer on the Caps to a victory over Millbrook!
