PENNSVILLE – Playing their second match in as many days, the Pennsville girls tennis team suffered its first loss of the season Wednesday, 4-1 to Vineland.

Lily Edwards scored the Eagles’ lone point with an intense 4-6, 6-2, 12-10 victory over Kaitlyn Jones at first singles. It was Edwards’ 34th consecutive victory.

It was only the second time in her high school career she’s gone to a third-set tiebreaker and first time in singles. She won a 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 10-8 marathon with Regan Witt at No. 2 doubles against Gloucester Tech as a freshman.

Vineland, a South Jersey Group 4 semifinalist last year, won a third-set tiebreaker at first doubles.
