North varsity girls ' tennis team proved to be the one to beat in the Ivy League. It helped to have the number one player in the Ivy League, Tina Lasater, who went undefeated in league. Lasater was one of the many assets that led to a 19-2 season and first place in the Ivy League. But not only the single success of Tina Lasater helped the team. Second and third ranked Linda Bartnicki and Nicky Singer assisted in the capture of the title. The team ' s dedication was a key factor in competitive play. We really worked hard, and it obviously paid off, com- mented Kathleen Hansen, a newcomer to the varsity team. Even the seniors had no regrets about the end of the season and their high school tennis careers. I ' m really happy about the way things went, said Linda Bart- nicki. Everything had come up roses in the 1985 season. Ah, the sweet smell of success! Serving to her Poly opponent, Tina Lasater begins her final set of the day. The girls swept Poly in singles play, and the team won 15-3.
