FVC...Finally

After an 11 year title drought, the Golden Eagles have once again brought the Fox Valley Conference trophy back to Algonquin. The team was buoyed by the support of countless alumni messages from afar, at least four former players able to make the trip back to cheer on the team in person, and the enthusiastic encouragement of our newly minted cheesehead; Coach Arimura. With Jacobs finishing as runners-up in five of the intervening seasons, this victory was a monumental step forward. On the courts, the girls put forth a total team effort and played with great heart and character throughout the weekend. Impressively, no Golden Eagle finished lower than third in her respective flight. Third place finishers were Morgan Vachio & Sara Elliott at first doubles and Hannah Jackowski & Chloe Moders at second doubles. With second place finishes were Maggie Corbett at third singles and Kori Kent & Caroline Bayer at fourth doubles. Individual champions included Ashley Kosy at first singles, Haley Steinkamp at second singles, and Alexa Azcui & Katie Toomire at third doubles. The truly historic day was capped off, in typical team fashion with a victory lap through Old Algonquin with stops at the Algonquin Sub Shop and Dairy Queen.
