Though they're no longer undefeated, the Sauk Centre Mainstreeters girls' tennis team faced some top notch competition and played very well at the Alexandria Quadrangular today. Match results were: a 6-1 loss to Alexandria, a 5-2 loss to Holy Family Catholic and an exciting 4-3 win over Crookston.
Against once-beaten Alexandria, who racked up a 7-1 record heading into the quad, the Mainstreeters picked up a win by Bethany Ellis at two-singles. Three of the six losses were in third set tiebreakers.
Holy Family Catholic, a private school from the Twin Cities, Bethany Ellis (12-0) held on to her undefeated winning streak by picking up one of the two wins for the Mainstreeters. The other came from Hope Schwinghamer.
Against the Pirates in the final match of the day, the Mainstreeters picked up match-clinching points in tiebreakers during the three-singles and one-doubles matches. Kathryn Macey at three singles came back from being down 3-6 in a seven-point tiebreaker to win. Then Jessica and Callie Rodenbiker (one doubles) pulled off a third set tiebreaker to hand the match to Sauk Centre.
