High School Roundup : Curtiss Lifts Agoura to Tennis Win Over Thousand Oaks

Natalie Curtiss of Agoura High defeated Tricia Shinden of Thousand Oaks in the final singles match Friday to clinch the Chargers’ 10-8 nonleague tennis victory at Agoura.

Leading, 8-7, Agoura (5-1) needed Curtiss’ victory to win the match. Had Curtiss lost, the match would have ended in a 9-9 tie, and Thousand Oaks would have prevailed in the tiebreaker, the total number of games won.
