CLEVELAND, Ohio – Gilmour Academy’s Caroline Koch and Grier Peckham continue to make history.

On Friday, the sophomore duo showcased their unmatched chemistry to claim the OHSAA Division II state doubles championship at the Lindner Family Tennis Center – their second title in a row.

In a rematch from the district final of two teams from Northeast Ohio, the Lancers’ pair defeated Dani Forte and Valeria Kislyansky of Hawken in a hard-fought three-set match (3-6, 6-3, 7-5) for the title. It was the only set the duo dropped all postseason.

With the win, Koch and Peckham become just the 10th duo in Ohio history to claim a second doubles title.

They end the season unbeaten while earning first-team All-Ohio. In the past two postseasons, they are 26-0 with two state titles.
