Hailie Kim’s remarkable freshman season has come to an end, but two days sooner than she had hoped.

That’s because Manteca’s bid for a Sac-Joaquin Section Division III semifinal upset of top-seeded Rio Americano came up short Monday at Gold River Racquet Club, 5-4.

The Raiders (15-3) of Sacramento will meet No 2. Placer — a 6-3 winner over No. 3 Christian Brothers — in the title round Wednesday at the University of the Pacific’s Zimmerman Tennis Complex.

With Kim and fourth-year senior Shreya Raman leading the charge at the top of the ladder, the fourth-seeded Buffaloes (15-7-1) did enough in singles play to have a shot, but Rio’s depth won the day.

Kim, who captured the SJS Division II Individual Tournament singles championship last Friday, blanked Jenny Yin 6-0, 6-0 to complete her perfect season with a 25-0 record. She also had a doubles win during a midseason tournament in Fresno.

Raman goes out with a bang, also prevailing with a 6-0, 6-0 score against Tori White in the No. 2 match. The No. 4 singles match was the only one decided in a third set; Manteca’s Paisley Coenenberg came through for the 6-3, 1-6, 11-9 triumph over freshman Natalia Cohen.

Rae Limbago, one of four freshman singles players for Manteca, won the No. 5 contest against Kaia Planting, 6-2, 6-2.

Katy Morley (6-3, 6-2) and Halle Staropoli (6-0, 6-1) defeated freshman siblings Saihaj and Ekam Ghuman at Nos. 3 and 6 singles, respectively.

In doubles, Rio Americano’s all-senior tandem of Charlotte Thomas and Amanda Tran shut out Ryan Gomes and Natalia Perez, 6-0, 6-0. Kelsey Peeler and Natalie Tran took care of Alyson Alvarado and Delialah Sanchez Torres, 6-1, 6-2. The third doubles match was won by Linnea Bohan and Ella Parsons 6-1, 6-3 over Prabhjot Saran and Zoey Pratt.

The Division III final will run simultaneous to the Division IV matchup starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Stockton.  Division I and II matches will follow at 1 p.m. Valley Oak League champion Mountain House is vying for the Division I title with Oak Ridge.
