The Freedom High girls tennis team moved above .500 with an impressive 7-2 South Mountain 2A/3A Conference triumph Wednesday on Senior Night against Chase.

The Lady Patriots (6-5 SMAC) collected four singles wins, as Sam Roller (No. 1), Amber LeGoullon (No. 2), Hannah Kirksey (No. 4) and Danna Huffman (No. 5) won in straight sets.

Amber is undefeated (at 7-0) this season and has beaten all six teams in that process, said FHS coach Rusty Kiddoo.

Freedom then swept the doubles matches as Roller/LeGoullon (No. 1) and Kirksey/Mackenzie Snider (No. 2) claimed 8-0 victories before Huffman/Maggie Lee (No. 3) eked out a 9-8 (7-4) win.

Winners of five of its last six matches, Freedom played at Patton late Thursday and will participate in the 3A portion of the SMAC tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday on the Lady Panthers home courts.
