The Fergus Falls girls' tennis team traveled to St. Cloud Tech to take on the St. Cloud Crush in a dual on Tuesday. We got introductions taken care of and sent the girls to their court assignments just as the rain came. We waited out over an hour and a half rain delay before finally taking the courts just before 6pm. Once play began, the Crush came out hot and the Otters did not. It took us a while to work ourselves into our matches tonight for whatever reason, and it caused us to be playing catch-up on most of the courts all night. In the end, the Crushed topped the Otters 5-2.
Our wins came at first and third doubles tonight. Hattie Fullhart and Ashtyn Lill started slowly, but found their groove part way through the first set and rolled through the second set. Dillyn Lill and Carsyn Lill lost one game early in the match, but then took control without dropping another game.
The Crush swept the singles side of play. Isabella Abrahams found herself in a tight second set against one of the very top singles players we'll see all year. After falling behind a set, Bella battled back and narrowly missed forcing a third set when she fell 7-6 (7-5) in the tiebreak. This was a great set of offensive tennis for Bella.
The Otters travel to Brainerd on Thursday for another CLC and section 8AA match-up with the Warriors at 4:30.
