Coach’s Comments
We beat Davies yesterday 5-4 by two points in two separate matches. We topped that match today in how close a match really can be. We beat Fargo North 5-4 in incredible fashion. Reagan and Cali won both their singles matches and then their doubles match for 3 wins. Hannah and Angela played a very good #3 doubles team and lost. Both Hannah’s gave a valiant effort in singles, but came up short. Hope probably played one of the best #4 players in the state and lost putting the match at 3-4.
Then, we witnessed two epic comebacks. Hannah D. and Hope fought off a match point in their doubles match before coming back to win it. Then, at 4-4, the match came down to Angela in singles. Angela split sets and was down 2-5 in the third set with both teams watching just her match. Angela came back to win the next five games in a row to win 7-5 and fought off a match point in the process. So – today’s win was just by one point in two separate matches. It doesn’t get closer than that! Wow. Great fight ladies in another TEAM win!
The varsity is off for a week now – which is needed as a lot of our varsity girls are headed to New York for the music trip. Our JV/JH will play on Thursday in Jamestown.
