HERRIN — The Carbondale Terriers won the Herrin Girls 1A Tennis Sectional team championship thanks to winning both the singles and doubles titles.

Carbondale’s Skylar Moore defeated top seeded Margaux Bruce from Marion 6-1, 6-2 in the finals. Perhaps even more impressive than the dominant performance in the finals by the freshman is the fact it came on the heels of a three hour epic semifinal win. Moore trailed Benton’s Taylor Moore 5-2 in the third before winning the final five games to earn a spot in the finals. She won 17 of the final 20 games played Saturday.

Carbondale’s Shreya Patel and Jessie Harper also put in a lot of work Saturday to win the doubles championship. Patel and Harper downed top seeded Kelby Weber and Bre Nesler from Herrin in three sets in the semifinals before beating the Benton duo of Madison Kreiner and Adriana Tonn in the finals 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.
