For the third straight year Shorewood won the WesCo South 2025 league championship.

Shorewood was undefeated in league play with a 12-0 record and finished with a 13-1 overall record.

Senior Captain Xander Gordon

A highlight of the season was the team’s 3rd place finish at the Curtis Cup Invitational tournament at University Place.

Shorewood won the first day, Mt. Tahoma group Championship, by defeating undefeated Enumclaw and Olympia and a tough Mt. Tahoma team. They defeated Enumclaw 5-1, Olympia 5-1 and Mt. Tahoma 6-0.

On Saturday September 27, 2025 the top four teams from group play matched up in the semi-finals. Shorewood faced the highly regarded and talented team from Overlake. In the other semi-final host Curtis matched up with WesCo 4A power Jackson. It was a close and hard fought Shorewood 3-4 loss to Overtake. 

Senior Captains Riley Boyd, Eli Sheffield and Xander Gordon

After wins by Shorewood’s Zack Binz and Xander Gordon in singles and a tough win by Shorewood doubles Riley Boyd and Eli Sheffield to even up the team match score at 3-3, the teams played a shootout style tiebreaker, with Shorewood losing by only three points 2-5, and Overlake winning the match 4-3.

Overtake won the Curtis Cup by defeating Jackson 4-2.

Shorewood defeated conference opponents, second place 6-1 and Lynnwood 7-0 to finish the league season.

The Shorewood JV tennis team also won the WesCo South JV league championship with an undefeated season.
