It wasn’t exactly great tennis weather on Wednesday with cool temps, but still very doable in the sunshine as the local high school tennis teams opened up their seasons on Wednesday, with big wins for the Nashua North and South girls and a clutch victory by the Souhegan girls.

And in boys, South got a good road win while Hollis Brookline and Alvirne, who opened indoors on Monday, both won outdoor matches.

Here’s the rundown:

GIRLS TENNIS

NASHUA NORTH 8, WINDHAM 1

The Titans took care of business right away, sweeping singles with wins in ladder order by No.1 Mary Pappas (8-3), Brielle Baxter (8-5), Leena Srinivas (8-3), Mariana Cajigas (8-3), Gabi Desjardins (8-1) and Yelin Kim (8-4).

BG has its home opener vs. Bedford on Friday.

SOUHEGAN 5, PORTSMOUTH 4

It certainly wasn’t a soft opener for the Sabers, who after splitting singles took Nos. 1 and 2 doubles to pull out the win.
