The Panthers' offense remained missing in action for a second straight match.
After opening the season with a 2-0 loss to Kenosha Bradford on March 31, Greendale lost to visiting Kettle Moraine, 1-0, Friday.
Kettle Moraine's Melissa Leister scored the match's lone goal in the eighth minute.
Goal keeper Mary Merg made 13 saves for Panthers (0-2), who managed just one shot on goal.
Whitnall tennis
The Falcons will have all new doubles team when the season kicks off at the Muskego Quad on Saturday.
All three units from a year ago were comprised of seniors that helped Whitnall take fourth in the Woodland Conference.
Coach Dan Schifano, in his fifth year in the program, expects his team to be strong in all four singles flights as well as at first doubles.
Andy Krawczyk, a four-year starter, is the team leader, along with returning letter winners Alex Dundas and Taylor Marino. Krawczyk and Dundas are co-captains. Andrew Dundas is also expected to have a strong season, according to Schifano.
Franklin tennis
Plenty of players have returned to the defending Southeast Conference dual and tournament champion Sabers.
Leading the way are Brad Heale and CJ Malek, the team's top doubles team that lost in the third round of the state tournament a year ago.
The second doubles team will be comprised of Zach Bartels and Kyle Hoffman, but the third set was undecided as of Monday, according to coach Gail Champion.
Jacob Kossoris, Evan Bauer and Mitch DeMario will make up the first three flights of singles action and a host of players are in the mix four the last one.
Franklin, which will compete with Kenosha Tremper for supremacy in the SEC this spring, lost Frankie Giuffre, Nathan Fons and Omar Dakwar to graduation. Giuffre is now playing at Carroll University.
