Tiverton High School’s girls tennis team has secured the Division III Rhode Island State Championship. They clinched the title with a win over Exeter West Greenwich at Slater Park in Pawtucket.

The championship-winning match came down to doubles partners Sophia Han and Hailey Archambault. Interestingly, Archambault, a sophomore, made her varsity debut in this crucial game after playing on the junior varsity team.

What’sUpNewp photographer Justin Walker was on hand to capture the excitement. He’s put together a photo gallery showcasing the team’s big moment and celebration.
