Burgarello wins another title

Galena High's Julie Burgarello made history on Saturday when she became the first player in Northern Nevada to win three state girls singles titles at the NIAA 4A State Championships at the Darling Tennis Center in Las Vegas.

Burgarello, a senior, beat The Meadows' Veronica Kawka 6-4, 6-1 in the semifinals and then defeated Liberty's Julie Baltas 6-4, 6-3 for the title.
