On the Bowling Green State University tennis courts, the Bowling Green High School girls tennis team swept Clay, 5-0, Wednesday. BG is 12-4 for the season.
Despite the sweep, one doubles match had the fans in attendance following every point.
BG coach Andy Drumm said the BG team of Audrey Geyman and Hannah Mathey worked hard to get their No. 1 doubles win over Clay’s Grace Fortier and Rebekah Kolinski, 7-6 (7), 6-2.
“Audrey Geyman and Hannah Mathey were able to hold on in the first set in order to get to the tie-breaker,” Drumm said. “In the tie-breaker BG jumped out to a 4-0 lead but Clay stormed back on a couple of unforced errors to take a 6-4 lead.
“BG was able to put a couple of balls away at the net and make a big serve to get it to 7-6. After another BG unforced error, BG was able to string two points together to win the set 7-6,” he said.“In the second set BG was trying to be more aggressive at the net and win points earlier. The strategy worked as they were able to hang on and win the second set 6-3.
“All four players played well and were aggressive at the net, which made for an entertaining match.”
In singles, Libby Barnett (BG) defeated Ella Orr 6-1, 6-0, Julia Barnett (BG) defeated Remi Galyas 6-1, 6-0, and Sarah Mathey (BG) defeated Makenna Langford 6-2, 6-1.
In second doubles, Audra Hammer and Teeda Cromwell (BG) defeated Kaitlyn Mentzer and Elaina Garcia 6-1, 6-2.
