SANDPOINT – Sandpoint Tennis defeated Lake City, 8-4 on Tuesday to remain undefeated on the season.
Girls doubles led the way for the Bulldogs. Sydney Webb and Aubrey Knowles won a quick 6-1, 6-0 match at Travers Park to start off the day. Maile Evans and Patch Howard followed by defeating Adeline Smith & Sophia Olson to complete the sweep.
Maisie Brazill, who returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing the last match, secured the lone victory in girls singles with a three-set win over Lake City’s Christina Glass.
“Maisie continued her winning ways after going through wisdom teeth removal last week. That’s no fun. Her two-hour, three-set match was certainly a test of her grit and will to win,” head coach Kent Anderson said.
Sandpoint also swept the Timberwolves in mixed doubles. Fisher Dail and Berkley Cox defeated their opponents 6-2, 6-1; Brennan Johnson and Ellie Tutin also won in just two sets.
On the boys side, it was Jacob Dawson and Matthew Norton both securing two-set victories in the number one and number two boys singles matches. For doubles, it was Owen Larson and Ivan Steinbachs who made quick work of their opponents, 6-2, 6-0.
“It’s always fun to go up against the 5A schools and it’s even more fun to bring home a win,” Anderson said.
The Bulldogs (8-0) will be back in action on April 28-29 at the Inland Empire Tournament in Spokane, one of the largest high school tournaments in the United States.
