Tillit proved that on Saturday by winning her second straight singles title, again beating a powerhouse player who herself regularly downs other opponents on the Class 4A level.

The Ridgeline ace stroked her way to a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Park City’s Livi Rockwood in the 1st Singles finale.

“I feel so relieved right now. It feels better actually, because I just felt so much pressure,” said Tillit. “Now that it’s over, I just feel so happy that I was able to pull through.”
