Congratulations to first year Head Coach
Jenn Roveto Named CHSAA Badminton Coach of The Year, 2018!!

Roveto took the helm of an 0-12 team this spring with expectation set to accomplish a few wins and create an environment that inspired girls to want to win. 

Ending the season as CHSAA League Champions, she more then inspired! They claimed their title with a 5-2 win over a strong Sacred Heart Academy.

With a regular season record of 8-4 it left some questions of what to expect going into playoffs. The Friars only losses came from St. John the Baptist and Our Lady of Mercy who where the schools to beat when the season opened. 

With two schools to look out for and reasonable expectations Rovetto did not realize her team had plans of their own, they meant business. Winning their opening day match 6-1 vs. St. Mary's and then their second match 5-2. It was clear that the SA was no longer an easy win. Next the teams traveled to tough competitors  SJB and OLMA  who also meant business, shutting down the Friars in back to back matches in a 5-2 fashion. 

Rovetto had two schools to work around but continued to inspire her team all the way to a Championship. With a new league title next was doubles and individual champs. OLMA swept the doubles in clear fashion while St. Anthony's Jr. Alice Fong tied for 1st in her singles round and Sr. Morena DeVeto got second in her singles round.

Congratulations to a hard working and committed 2018 team!
