Schueller and Stiefel beat Devyn Porath and Teresa Haunert of Riverview Gabriel Richard 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 in the semis.

Geppner beat Tiffany Ash of Williamston 6-1, 6-3 to get to the finals.

"She had a phenomenal tournament all the way around," Irish coach Jim Sayed said. "She did all that you can ask in the final and just came up short. It was really a great showing for everybody today. A team goal was to finish top ten in the state and we did that."

Geppner, who finished the year 19-3, will be playing tennis at Dennison University next year.

"It's not over for me," she said. "I have a lot of tennis ahead of me this summer."

The Irish finished eighth as a team with 12 points. Greenhills was seventh with 13.
