Head coach Todd Friend, whose program had never before achieved this milestone, expressed his pride in the team's remarkable achievements throughout the season. The Warriors showcased their dominant play by winning every match 6-0, 6-0, with Ellie Dawson capturing the first singles title, Blake Schwartz taking second singles, and Saylor Smith, Mady Yoha winning first doubles, and Lilly Gray and Ally Bell claiming second doubles. Sophomore Sophie Schuster secured the third singles victory via forfeit, marking her first varsity season. Coach Friend emphasized that the team's success was a testament to their hard work, positive attitude, and strong camaraderie. The Warriors' impressive regular season, which included a 17-1 record and a league record four court championships at the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference tournament, laid the groundwork for their championship victory over Clear Fork on September 26th. This remarkable achievement solidifies Ontario's place in history as the first program to win a girls tennis league title.",
