Not only did freshman Bethany Yauch serve last week as Baldwin’s first representative at WPIAL finals in tennis singles in two decades, but she also did well enough to qualify for states.

On Thursday she won two matches and lost one. On the second day, she secured a victory and earned a slot in states.

Yauch said she was excited about how well the competition went, especially given that she is a freshman.

“I never expected to make it to states,” Yauch said.
