Jones moves into district final

From CDT staff reports

ALTOONA — State College’s Corinne Jones is one step away from defending her District 6 Class AAA singles tennis title.

Jones breezed through her two matches Friday in straight sets in the district tournament at Altoona’s Leopold Rec Center. The senior returns to the court at 11 a.m. today back at the Leopold Center to face Hollidaysburg’s Anisa Khalouf for a spot in next month’s PIAA Championship tournament. Jones beat the freshman 6-0, 6-1 in a match in State College last month.

“Corinne is a pretty experienced player,” Lady Little Lions coach Jane Borden said. “I think she’ll be fine. The only thing she’ll have to get over is playing indoors on that surface. ... It’s old and really quick.”

Jones won her first match 6-3, 6-2 over Altoona’s McKenna Dixon and then dropped Khalouf’s older sister, Natalie, 6-3, 6-1 in the semifinals.

Anisa Khalouf ousted Johnstown’s Katy Landis in her opening match, then dropped State College’s Cara Rangaswamy 6-4, 6-3 in the semifinals. Rangaswamy had earlier outlasted Altoona’s Ashli Livermore 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

“That was a tough match,” Borden said. “She really played an excellent tournament.”
