Girls Tennis: Zhang-Blake team falls in PIAA quarterfinals

Making it to the quarterfinal round of the PIAA Class AAA doubles tournament isn’t bad.

That’s what Garnet Valley’s Marina Zhang and Emma Blake did at the Hershey Racquet Club. The District One runners-up fell to Fox Chapel’s Laurel Shymansky and Amanda Nord, the champions from District Seven, 6-3, 6-4, in the state quarters Friday.

Zhang and Blake advanced to the quarters with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Central’s Gabrielle Garnett and Devi Majeski, the champions out of District 12.
