Boys tennis: Alexandria completes six matches in short stretch

The Alexandria boys tennis team had a very busy finish to the regular season as it played six matches in three days.

On senior night, Alexandria defeated Sauk Rapids-Rice (7-0), Minnewaska (6-1) and Sauk Rapids-Rice (7-0).

“A big thank you goes out to the seniors for their hard work and leadership; Ryker Bosek, Erik Reineke, Hunter Bollman, David Rauscher, Landon Seward, and Lucas Taylor,” Alexandria head coach Nick Jansen said.

Alexandria followed these wins with a 7-0 win over Detroit Lakes on Friday and a 4-3 win over Bemidji that came down to the final match.

“The match came, down to fourth singles where Brett Thornburg battled back after dropping the first set, to win the second set and the third set in a tie-breaker,” Jansen said.

The final match of the regular season came on Monday against St. Cloud Tech. Alexandria picked up a win by Owen Gilbertson at No. 1 singles but St. Cloud Tech won the match 6-1.

Alexandria hosts either Detroit Lakes or Moorhead to open the playoffs on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.
