Brookfield East & Brookfield Academy Earn Girls Tennis Team Titles

MADISON, Wis. – Champions in two divisions were crowned at the 2024 State Girls Team Tennis Tournament at Nielsen Tennis Center Saturday.

Second-seeded Brookfield East (27-1) edged former two-time defending championship Arrowhead (27-2) 4-3 in the championship match.

Caroline Raster won her #1 singles flight for the Spartans after placing fifth at the State Individual Tennis Championships last week. Lily Sun and Yukiko Mitchell also won their singles matches at the #2 and #3 flights, respectively. Shriya Pusunuru and Cece Bonfilio contributed to the victory by winning their match at #3 doubles.
