Whitewater finished 5th in the
Rock Valley Conference Tournament, which actually still isn’t finished. The 1
singles championship match was suspended until Tuesday due to the length of the
match. East Troy has wrapped up the team championship.
Overall, the Whippets played well. Several
players defeated or pushed teams much further than they had earlier in the
year. Cassidy Laue won her second match of the evening over Edgerton after
having lost the first set. She played a very smart second set and tiebreaker to
win the match.
Doubles saw some of the Whippets best
tennis of the evening. At 1 doubles, Odessa Sonn and Sophie Olson finished 4th.
They played very well in the 3rd place match against East Troy.
Having lost to East Troy twice already this year and finding themselves down
5-1 in the second set they fought all the way back to win the set before
falling in the tiebreaker.
Two doubles was Whitewater’s best finish
with a 3rd place finish. The match of the night was the semi-final
between Melanie Reyes and Mariana Cano against Big Foot/Williams Bay.
Whitewater had lost the earlier match in the year in straight sets and had also
lost to this team 6-0, 6-0 in last year’s tournament. The girls pushed this one
all the way to a third set before falling 12-10 in the tiebreaker. They were
able to rebound though and took complete charge of their final match winning
6-2,6-1.
The 3rd doubles team of Katelyn
Lashley and Emily Scherer also lost a close one in three sets in the first
round and then came back to beat Edgerton, a team that had beat them a week
ago, 6-3, 6-1.
Whitewater finishes their regular season
on Monday with a dual at Beloit Memorial.
