The #6 seeded Fergus Falls girls’ tennis team traveled to Courts Plus in Fargo for section 8AA subsection playoff action against the #3 seed Thief River Falls Prowlers on Tuesday.  The Prowlers swept the match 7-0.  

We were simply outmatched today by a solid Thief River Falls squad.  The top of their lineup is just fantastic.  Their top singles player is seeded #1 in tomorrow's individual tournament and their top doubles team is seeded #2 in tomorrow's doubles tournament.  Our girls represented well, but fell short today to a veteran team with a lot more varsity experience.  We will use this match as a springboard moving forward.  We have a lot of younger players in the mix and are excited for the future of Otter tennis.    

Now we're all changing gears from team competition to tomorrow's individual tournaments where Isabella Abrahams and Ruby Ellison will represent Fergus Falls in the singles tournament and the doubles teams of Ashtyn Lill/Leila Nasri and Karley Braeger/Cyntreya Lockett will give it a go for another chance to extend their seasons.  Last year 8th grader Ashtyn Lill and senior Mia Marsh made an upset move into the section tournament and all six of our individuals are looking to do the same again this year.  

Singles:
1. Brooklyn Broadwell (T) defeated Isabella Abrahams (FF) 6-1, 6-0.
2. Avery Skaar (T) defeated Leila Nasri (FF) 6-1, 6-1.
3. Braylee Wienen (T) defeated Ruby Ellison (FF) 7-5, 6-2.
4. Ingrid Anderson (T) defeated Kaia Ness (FF) 6-2, 6-1.

Doubles:
1. Paige Weet/Bell Hamre (T) defeated Ashtyn Lill/Hattie Fullhart (FF) 6-0, 6-2.
2. Piper Greene/Stephanie Dagg (T) defeated Karley Braeger/Cyntreya Lockett (FF) 6-3, 7-5.
3. Grace Gillespie/Anna Lunsetter (T) defeated Hannah Anderson/Kylie King (FF) 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
