Brunswick girls tennis wins Class A North title, heads to state final
Brunswick’s top two singles players set the tone again, and the Dragons carried a 15-0 run into the Class A state final after winning the North title at Colby College.
Brunswick girls tennis kept showing why it has become the standard in Class A North, beating Brewer 4-1 at Colby College in Waterville to claim another regional title and push its unbeaten season to 15-0. The Dragons did it with the kind of top-end strength and depth that separate a good postseason team from a title threat.
Molly Tefft and Ellie Meserve put Brunswick in control early, each winning in straight sets by the same 6-2, 6-0 score. Tefft beat Brewer’s Julia Spencer at No. 1 singles, while Meserve handled Delaney McDonough at No. 2 singles, putting the Dragons one match away from clinching the team victory before the rest of the lineup finished the job.
That balance has been Brunswick’s edge all spring. Coach Josh Levy said the team essentially has “two No. 1 players,” and those players also sharpen each other in practice by competing against one another and against boys players. In a regional final, where one or two matches can swing the outcome, that kind of depth at the top gave Brunswick a built-in advantage Brewer could not match.
The Class A North championship was Brunswick’s fifth in the past six seasons, another marker of a program that has turned consistency into a habit. The Dragons had already beaten Brewer 4-1 during the regular season, but Monday’s rematch still carried postseason pressure before Brunswick again came through with the same result.
The win sent Brunswick to Bates College in Lewiston for the Class A state final against Falmouth on Wednesday. There, the Dragons ran into a Falmouth team that extended its winning streak to 48 matches and claimed its third straight Class A title with a 4-1 victory. Falmouth finished 16-0, captured its 18th state championship overall, and again showed why it has set the bar in Maine girls tennis.
Even with the state final loss, Brunswick’s run underscored what makes this group different from other strong local squads: Tefft and Meserve at the top, a lineup built to absorb pressure, and a program that has kept winning region after region. In Sagadahoc County and beyond, the Dragons spent June playing like a team built for June.
