"This was our last regular match of the season and was a good warm-up for state," said coach Barb Rickord. "Our #4 player Sarah Roetman was out with an injury so Liz Day moved into varsity at #6. We're hoping Sarah will be ready for state next week.
"Lauren Higgins at #3 showed a lot of composure and consistency in winning a tiebreaker after a let down in the second set," she continued. "She has the ability to win matches and this gave her some needed confidence. We look forward to the Oct. 9-11 state tournament in Sioux Falls. All schools with tennis teams participate in the same tournament."
