NEWTON – A rematch of the 2022 Division 1 girls tennis state championship is officially on for 2023.Defending champion Lexington defeated top-seeded Boston Latin 3-2 to clinch a chance at a repeat, while runner-up Lincoln-Sudbury topped second-seeded Acton-Boxboro 4-1 to earn a shot at redemption.A big difference between this season and last is where the teams were in the power rankings. The Warriors and Minutewomen entered the final last season as the top two seeds, respectively. This year they were third and fifth. Warriors coach Jason Walsh said that helped his squad have some extra motivation.“It’s kind of exciting because we are not the top two teams,” Walsh said. “I like the bracket busters that happen in these tournaments.”Both teams needed to flip a loss from the regular season to reach this point, and for Lexington, the focus was on doubles play. In the team’s 3-2 loss to Wolfpack on May 24, they won first and second doubles, but lost the remaining matches. Head coach...
