singles, Deter at #2 and Sprunger at #6. Dawn Lauer also picked
up two wins in the match. In doubles' play, Lauer and Rachael
Boersma won 8-3 at #3, and in singles, Lauer rallied for the win after
dropping the first set at #4. She won the second set 6-0 then
won a super tie-breaker 11-9 for the third set. In the tie-breaker,
she trailed 9-6, and then won the next five points to earn the
victory. “I thought we played about as well as we could,” said
Coach Gary Turner. “We kept the ball in play and didn’t make many
mistakes. They had better strokes than we did, but I felt we played a
better mental game.” With the win, the Foresters now stand at
5-10 on the year. |
