FRYEBURG — Persistence is paying off for the Fryeburg Academy girls’ tennis team this season. Fryeburg traveled to Readfield, Maine, on May 9 and swept a rare doubleheader, winning both matches 3-2.
For the Raiders, who had been knocking on victory door and come oh-so-close recently, the wins were the first for the season for Coach Chris Chaffee’s squad. The Raiders improved to 2-3 with the sweep.
