Mendham ends Chatham's Morris County Tournament tennis dynasty
Mendham won its first MCT girls tennis title since 2012, ending Chatham's 12-year reign at the top.
Mendham has brought an end to Chatham's remarkable 12-year winning streak in the Morris County Tournament tennis finals. The Minutemen claimed their first title since 2011-2012, overcoming Chatham with wins at first and second singles, and second doubles. Senior Maya Gieszczynski expressed her excitement to storm the court once Mendham captured the championship.
The victory was particularly significant for senior first singles player Sofia Cicarone, who had battled through a tough match to defeat Montville's Nora Shi. The final round had been postponed due to severe weather, with the tournament finally resuming on October 9. Chatham's coach, Jon Cataldi, had been waiting for this win for 20 years. Despite the challenges, Mendham's coach Jon Cataldi was pleased to finally see the title secured.
