Tate Jaeger and Sarah Monroy led the Patriots to the championship by each going 3-0 in singles play.

In doubles acton Abby Gobbell/Annika Haugen and Janelle Pryko/Amber Regan each chalked up 2 wins as Providence completed a perfect 13-0 season.

"This is incredible for all our girls, but especially for our freshmen singles players, Tate Jaeger and Rinna Griggs, and our two seniors, Sarah Monroy and Sienna Oquist," said Athletic Director Dan Terry. "The entire team, led by Coach Leanne Patterson, rose to the occasion. For a high school with such a small student body, it’s inspiring to see them take on and defeat schools with much larger enrollments."
