MIAA Girls Tennis State Championships: Wellesley, Longmeadow, Hamilton-Wenham Repeat Winners ... Dover-Sherborn Ends Long Wait

MIT's duPont Courts once again were the site of the 2025 MIAA Girls Tennis Championships. Despite an extra day of wait because of rain, the four title matches included three repeat champions, including one team with four straight in the statewide era, and another school ending a championshiop drought dating back more than a decade.

Here is a look at all of the action: 

Division 1

The No. 2 doubles team provided a perfect finish to the season and another championship for No. 4 seed Wellesley High School.

When junior Sari Hart and sophomore Mia Chung rallied for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory, the Raiders took home their second title in as many years with a 3-2 win over Lexington High School in a battle of unbeaten squads.

Wellesley got its other wins from sophomore Bella Gopen at No. 1 singles (6-1, 6-2), and sophomore Kimmy Tai at No. 2 singles (6-0, 6-1).

No. 6 seed Lexington, which also lost for the first time in five championship appearances, earned its points as senior Kiki Reddy rolled at No. 3 singles (6-0, 6-3), and the No. 1 doubles team of sophomore Hayden Kuo and freshman Kiley Gallagher battled for a 6-7 (8-6), 7-5, 10-8 win.

Division 2

After sweeping both doubles matches, No. 1 seed Longmeadow High School needed a singles match to come through to deliver another unbeaten season and state title.

Junior Ellie Kennedy did just that, taking a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory at third singles and clinching the Lancers’ 3-2 victory over No. 2 seed Wayland High School.

Juniors Kelci Talati and Nora McMahon won at No. 1 doubles (6-2, 6-0) for the Lancers, and second doubles of senior Maia Oh and junior Anaya Mohani rallied for a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 win. Those points helped Longmeadow to back-to-back titles No. 3 overall in 17 tries.

Wayland won at Nos. 1 and 2 singles behind senior Bella Camacho (6-0, 6-0) and freshman Elena Tan (6-2, 6-1), respectively. But the Warriors fell short of their first title since 2017.

Division 3

One team was going to end a championship drought – it turned out to be No. 1 seed Dover-Sherborn High School, as the Raiders swept every match in a 5-0 victory over Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.

The doubles matches each went three sets, but D-S swept those as well. Juniors Caroline Mahoney and Grace Makkas were 6-2, 6-7, 6-1 winners over Vineyarders sophomores Leah Thomson and Zoe Treitman.
