MILBANK – Aberdeen Roncalli collected a pair of tennis victories in its final road dual matches of the year on Tuesday.
The Cavaliers doubled up Lennox 6-3, and stopped Milbank 7-2.
“Started the day with doubles vs. Lennox and even though we won two of the three matches, we thought the doubles play was a little shaky at times,” said Roncalli coach Ryan Bohle. “We got strong singles wins from Sydney (Bohle), Molleigh (Hofer), Abigail (Andersen), and Lydia (Nora) to carry us to team win number 12.”
The Cavaliers then grabbed a victory over Milbank is much the same fashion, winning five of the six singles matches.
“Finished the day with Milbank and started with doubles. Again, we won two out of three, but the doubles play as a whole was shaky,” Bohle said. “The two doubles team got a tiebreak win after being up 8-3 at one point. The singles again seemed much stronger and carried us to team win number 13 with wins from Sydney, Gianna (Cihak), Molleigh, Abigail and Lydia.”
The Cavaliers ended up winning nine of the 12 singles matches on the day.
“For whatever reason we really seemed much more confident and strong in singles today, and it showed,” Bohle said.
The Cavaliers conclude the regular season by hosting Sioux Falls Christian at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Holgate Courts before gearing up for the State A tournament early next month in Rapid City.
