In a rematch of last season’s Section 3-AAA doubles championship, Fox Chapel’s top team prevailed again.

Laurel Shymansky and Amanda Nord won the section doubles tournament Tuesday at Alpha Tennis and Fitness in Harmarville, defeating Shady Side Academy’s Lindsey Miller and Erin Gramley, 6-1, 6-0, in the final.

Shymansky and Nord beat Miller and Gramley, 6-4, 6-1, in last year’s final on the way to the WPIAL title.

Shymansky also won the section doubles tournament in 2012 and 2013 while playing with Lacey Cohen.

Kristen Friday and Molly Weise, also from Fox Chapel, finished third in the section.

They defeated Shady Side Academy’s Amy Donahue and Maria Jovin, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, in the consolation match.

The top four teams will advance to next week’s WPIAL Class AAA doubles tournament.
