The Fergus Falls girls’ tennis team hosted the Alexandria Cardinals in a home dual on Thursday night with the Cardinals posting a 5-2 victory over the Otters.

Ellie Colbeck earned the only traditional point for the team, defeating Brianna Holm in a tough three-setter 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 at first singles.  Ellie started the match by dropping the first 4 games as Holm came out of the gate red hot.  However, in what is becoming typical Ellie form, she remained calm and stayed the course while working herself into the match.  The other team point for the Otters came as the result of a default due to injury at first doubles.
