The state tournament is next Thursday – Saturday in Minot. 

Matt Nielson comments below:

We lost a heart breaker 3-2 against Shanley in the first round with 3 3rd set losses. We beat South 4-1 to get to the qualifier against Sheyenne.  Against Sheyenne, we put out a CRAZY line-up in hopes to get #3 singles and both doubles.  Maia rocked the singles.  Abby went Beast Mode at #2 doubles with solid play from Breanna to win at #2 doubles.  At one doubles our #1 and #7, Claire and Rachel, had to win as the score was 2-2.  Both played with nerves of steel and confidence despite NEVER playing together before.  They won in straight sets for the team to state qualify for the 3rd year in a row!!!

Singles and doubles championship bracket is going on today and tomorrow.
