Isabella Abrahams and Ruby Ellison simply dominated at the top of the singles lineup.  Park Rapids has some really gifted athletes and they battled hard, but just weren't able to match up as well with our lineup.  Layla Zosel played our tightest and toughest match of the day.  Layla has put in so much work in the off-season and it really shows.  She's striking the ball with so much more pace and depth than in the past and this is helping her to become a much more offensive player.  Ali Bredenberg rounded out the singles side of the lineup with a nice 6-3, 6-1 win. 

Clara Stephan and Kaia Ness paired up for the first time in our second doubles match and played a good, solid match for a 6-3, 6-2 win.  Ashtyn Lill and Hattie Fullhart continued to play aggressive doubles at first doubles, while Carsyn Lill and Dillyn Lill showed off their steady and consistent ways in third doubles for a couple more wins.   

It's hard to believe we actually have a really young lineup because many of these girls have a lot of varsity experience already.  We did get four new players into their first home varsity match today so that was exciting.  And, of course, it's always good to get that first team win under our belts.  

The heat played a factor today and we're hoping for a cool-down later this week as we have four more matches on the calendar.  Thursday morning we head to Detroit Lakes early to challenge the Lakers at 8:30 and Little Falls at 10:00.
