Coppell tennis built a commanding lead in doubles and finished the job in singles Monday, defeating Frisco Wakeland 11-5 at High Point Tennis Center to advance to the regional semifinals in Abilene.

The Cowboys won six of seven doubles matches, creating the separation that carried them through a more competitive singles round.

Coppell also took two of three girls doubles matches. Anna Hartley and Mihika Modi survived a three-set battle, 7-6 (5), 2-6, 10-8, and Rachel Howe and Chloe Ahmad prevailed 6-1, 3-6, 11-9. Steve Jack and Gloria Sun completed doubles play with a 6-4, 6-4 mixed-doubles win.

The Cowboys entered singles with a 6-1 advantage and earned five more victories to secure the match.

Jack won 6-3, 6-3 at third boys singles. Chow then supplied Coppell’s 10th match victory with a 6-3, 6-2 win at the fifth line, and Morales Miranda rallied for another three-set victory, 4-6, 6-2, 10-2, at sixth boys singles.

On the girls' side, team captain Varsha Sivaprasad won 6-4, 6-4 at the top line, while Sun rolled to a 6-1, 6-2 victory at third girls singles.

With Coppell holding the match lead, several remaining singles matches were left unfinished. The result kept the Cowboys undefeated at 21-0 and sent them to Abilene for the regional semifinals.
