North Catholic's Reagan Sommariva wasn't able to participate in the WPIAL playoffs last season because she transferred from Butler. With a 41-4 career singles record, Sommariva is eager to see where she stacks up during her senior campaign.

CRANBERRY TWP — Reagan Sommariva would have loved to have seen where her game stacked up against other top tennis players last year in the Class 2A Section 3 and WPIAL postseason tournaments, but the Butler resident wasn't given the chance.

Sommariva, now a senior at North Catholic, transferred from Butler after her sophomore year. She went 15-1 as the Trojanettes' top singles player in 2019.

“The WPIAL has a rule that if you transfer, you can't participate in any postseason tournaments the next season,” said North coach Eric Solverson. “It was frustrating because Reagan didn't transfer because of tennis.”

“It was disappointing because I couldn't be there for my team when they needed me the most,” said Sommariva, who is 41-4 in singles play in her varsity career.
