Tuesday night the Fergus Falls girls’ tennis team hosted Moorhead in the first round of the section 8AA team tournament. The day started with a couple hours of unfortunate rain delay and ended with the Spuds upsetting the Otters 4-3 on their home courts.
We felt pretty good about the matchup heading into the match as we've beaten them twice earlier this season 6-1 and 5-2 and have been playing top notch tennis as of late. Hats off to Moorhead though, they came ready to play. They took three of our four singles matches tonight and a three-set match at second doubles. Tonight was definitely not our best tennis, but the girls have nothing to hang their heads about. We had a tremendous run as a team this season. The Otters earned 2nd place in the Central Lakes Conference and posted a very nice 15-5 team record.
There is still more tennis to be played. On Friday, #4 seed Isabella Abrahams and Ruby Ellison will play in the individual singles tournament. Likewise, our #3 seeded doubles team of Hattie Fullhart/Ashtyn Lill and Layla Zosel/Kaia Ness will play in the individual doubles tournament. These matches will take place indoors at Choice Health & Fitness in Grand Forks.
