SEATTLE–Aberdeen’s Sophie Knutson lost two matches to bow out of the 2A State Girls Tennis Singles Championships on Friday at the Nordstrom Tennis Center.

Knutson lost to Olympic’s Annabelle Waldman 6-1, 6-2 in her first match followed by a loss to Clarkston’s Rachel Gall 6-4, 6-4 in the second match, eliminating her from competition.

“Obviously, not the outcome we wanted, but I am so proud of Sophie’s season,” Aberdeen head coach Ashley Kohlmeier said. “She played tough competition all year and had a tough draw in each level of the postseason. She is a great competitor who fights for every point. I know she has high hopes for her senior season and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
