Tonight was just a really great night of tennis for us all around.  The girls executed and worked their tails off to earn this huge team win.  Isabella Abrahams had a fantastic night on the court, commanding control of her match and winning handily in straight sets.  Bella is an unsung hero on our team.  She's at the top of the ladder and plays everybody else's stud at first singles.  Her matches are never easy and she handles the roll with so much integrity and grit.  Bella is as mentally tough as they come and tonight she executed her game very well. Leila Nasri continued her great play at second singles for us today with another straight set victory.  Leila is doing an amazing job of working points and staying patient throughout her matches.  When she sees an opening, she takes it.  She's always very intellectual during her matches.  Ruby Ellison filled the third singles spot today with a 6-4, 6-2 win.  Ruby does such a great job of tracking down balls and forcing her opponents to continually hit more shots.  She's doing a great job of outlasting opponents in singles.  Kaia Ness had another great day at fourth singles for us today with the most highly contested match of the day.  Kaia is gaining confidence and finding more and more consistency every single day.  Her match tonight was a real baseline battle and Kaia's topspin and shot variety gave her the edge in the end.  

Tonight was a fantastic match for us all around.  We have some very versatile girls that are showing us some great things already this season.  We have a roster that includes a lot of girls on that varsity bubble.  It's rewarding to see how their hard work is paying off for them so far this season.

In doubles action, Hattie Fullhart joined Ashtyn Lill in the first doubles slot tonight.  Hattie and Ashtyn won 6-1, 6-0 and made routine work of their opponents by finishing shots at the net and just playing clean tennis.  Hattie had a great first match at first doubles and in her first time pairing with Ashtyn.  Hattie is extremely aggressive at the net and tracks the ball very well.  Her instinct to poach and finish points is helping her find a lot of early success this season. Karley Braeger and Cyntreya Lockett paired up again for a second doubles win.  Karley and Cindy are just a "go-to" doubles team for us.  They can both easily play with other partners, but always jive when teamed up together.  They are both such competitive athletes that we always know they're going to give each match everything they've got. Kezi Hartwell and Hannah Anderson teamed up for third doubles for us tonight, winning 6-0, 6-3. Kezi and Hannah are both great finishers at the net and they did a great job of closing in and finishing points early in the rally.
