North Carolina high school tennis star out for the season

News and Record reports:

Page sophomore Elizabeth Ansari is out for the season after likely tearing the ACL in her right knee during girls tennis practice Tuesday, Pirates coach Jason Allen said. She had an MRI on Thursday.

“It’d be safe to say that she’s out for the season,” Allen said. “It’s only about another two or three more weeks, and she can’t even walk.”

Ansari was playing at No. 3 singles for the stacked Pirates. Last season, as a freshman, she went 10-3 at No. 1 singles, was a Midwest Region semifinalist and a News & Record all-area selection. She was 11-0 this season.

“We were going to make a run for a state championship this year, but without her it’s going to be next to impossible,” Allen said. “She was a pivotal part of that.”
