Castilleja's Paisley de Blank thought she was going to play No. 1 doubles with Donya Gharachorloo in Monday's nonleague girls tennis match at Woodside.

First-year varsity coach Kirsten Gray had to make a pre-match switch, though, to protect her top singles player Lucy Slinger, who experienced some soreness.

de Blank, who played No. 3 singles, won a key match and helped Castilleja edge the Wildcats 4-3 on Monday.

Slinger took over at No. 1 doubles, Allison Row slipped into the top spot and was leading her match when Woodside's Daisy Koch fell ill in the second set.

The No. 3 doubles team of Leigh Hausman and Laura Schusser were also victorious for the Gators, who won their third straight after dropping the season-opener to Carlmont. Castilleja (3-1) travels to Robert Louis Stevenson in Pebble Beach for a nonleague match Friday.

Woodside's Camilla Jerng won her singles match while the team of Carmen Betchel and Annabelle Bechtel won their doubles match in a third set tiebreaker.

Kaitlyn Holty and Madelyn Lee won at No. 2 doubles for Woodside, which plays at Hillsdale on Tuesday afternoon.

In a nonleague match at Gunn, the Titans edged Sacred Heart Prep 4-3 with Aoi Junimoto, Kailana Matsuoka and Sarah Jung winning their singles matches. Elise Naddell and Nimisha Sivaraman held on to win their doubles match, 5-7, 7-6, 10-3, to clinch the win.

Alyssa Turenne gave SHP a point in singles while the teams of Clementine Devaux and Audrey Hampton and Maggie Kloninger and Katherine Showalter both won their doubles matches in a third set tiebreaker.

Gunn (1-2) opens SCVAL play Tuesday with a home match against Milpitas. Sacred Heart Prep (1-3) opens WBAL play at Menlo on Wednesday.
