Comment:
It was a tough day for our squad, but I’m really proud of the way Brissa Hernandez and Taylor Berkner stepped up with solid singles wins at the top of our lineup. Both played excellent tennis and kept us competitive throughout the match. Overall, we struggled to find our rhythm, and Luverne capitalized on their opportunities. We know there’s room for improvement, and the girls are determined to bounce back and continue working hard.

Comment: The New Ulm Invite is always a fun one. Taylor Berkner went 2-1 on the day in the First Singles flight, only losing in a tiebreaker to Karlee Prahl from New Ulm, one of the region’s best singles competitors. Brissa Hernandez went 3-0 in the Second Singles flight to take first place and go home with a medal. Overall, I was very proud of how the girls competed. I think it was some of the best team tennis we have played even though the scorecards didn’t necessarily reflect that.
