STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- St. Joseph Hill junior Emily Agushi defeated Notre Dame Academy’s Rachel Lee in the final of the CHSAA individual singles tournament 6-1, 6-1 to claim her first title Sunday at the College of Staten Island courts.
Agushi was dominate throughout the 76-point match barely letting Lee see any daylight. After a quick 2-0 start, Lee hit a couple of winners to lead 40-15 before letting the sudden death game slip away. Up 5-0, Agushi finally had a let up, double faulting twice and committing two errors that allowed Lee to get on the board. However, Agushi broke back at love with a forehand winner and a closing volley to capture the first set in 37 points.
Agushi continued to apply the pressure in the second set giving Lee very few opportunities in building a 4-0 lead in t
