Owen Valley 4, South Putnam 1 Stephanie Zhivotovsky picked up the lone win for the Eagles at No. 3 singles.
The Eagles are playing really well right now, despite the scores, coach Johnny Briones said. Our girls did a good job against a talented OV team. No. 2 singles outlasted her opponent in three sets.
The Eagles will close out the regular season on Tuesday by meeting Rockville, with sectional play starting the following day.
Northview is the favorite going into the tournament, but the other schools are very competitive as well, Briones said.
