Barring a collapse in Saturday’s Northeastern Conference Tournament on its own courts or a loss in their remaining two dual matches, Geneva’s girls tennis team virtually sealed the deal on ringing down the curtain on its stay in the NEC with another conference title by defeating Jefferson, 4-1, Wednesday.

Coach Scott Torok said the victory for the Eagles (10-2, 6-0) was hard to secure.

“It was a battle,” he said.

Jefferson (6-4, 4-2) is the closest to Geneva. If the Eagles finish no worse than third in Saturday’s tournament, which begins at 8:30 a.m., it will wrap up at least a share of its eighth NEC title in the nine-year history of a championship race in the sport and its third straight.

Courtney Thompson at first singles was the most dominating Eagle with a 6-3, 6-0 victory. Allie Mack and Sarah Smith at second doubles had to fight the hardest for their win, 7-5, 6-3.

Julia Mansfield produced Jefferson’s lone victory, a 7-5, 6-3 decision at third singles.

n Harvey 4, Conneaut 1 — The Red Raiders took the first four matches to earn the NEC win, its first. Lakeisha Ferguson and Sam Mann were 6-1, 6-3 winners at first and third singles for Harvey (2-7, 1-4), respectively. The closest match was at second singles, where Ashley Galadya outlasted Kaylee Ely of Conneaut (1-6, 1-4) on a 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) decision.

n Beachwood 4, Perry 1 — The second-doubles team of Abbey Hilborn and Alex Nichols saved the Pirates from a shutout by the Bisons as they earned a 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) win in the Chagrin Valley Conference match.

Pymatuning Valley closed in on a successful defense of its Northeastern Athletic Conference title with a 187-200 victory over Bristol. Jon York led the Lakers (12-2, 9-0) with a 42, while Dylan Young shot a 45 and Adam Lance and Mac Thurber each carded a 50.

A 40 by Shelly Ford powered Jefferson to a 207-258 win over North. Christen Lucas and Kaitlin Pestello each shot a 55, while Joanne Beckwith fired a 57 for the final score that counted for the Falcons (10-4, 4-0 Northeastern Conference). Brianne Bodisch also topped North’s first scorer with a 58.

n South 182, Lakeside 193, Edgewood 206 — A 4-over-par by Lisa Barber led the Rebels to victory. Krista Johnston and Stephanie Winters each had a 47 for Lakeside (10-5), while Yeram Kang led Edgewood (9-7) with a 47.
