For the third time in three years, EG's Aleksandra Drljaca faced Smithfield's Jenna LaBarre in a championship match. This time she came out the victor, in a come-from-behind 2-1 win Saturday at Slater Park, the Providence Journal reported.
Drljaca lost the first set to LaBarre, a senior, 4-6. She came back to win the match winning the second set 6-2 and the third set 6-1.
"We have played a lot and it's always three sets," said Drljaca to the Journal's John Gillooly. "I just needed to play smart tennis."
