Two of the primary contenders in the Section 6A girls tennis field went head-to-head on Tuesday, and Litchfield held on against Osakis (8-4) for a 4-3 win.
“The girls played a great match, almost pulling off the team win versus the section favorite,” Osakis head coach Ryan Maddock said. “Leah (Maddock), our No. 1 and No. 3 doubles teams had great wins and everyone had strong efforts. We were very close at second doubles.”
The Dragons are the defending section champions. Osakis got a straight-set win from freshman Leah Maddock at first singles. The doubles teams of Ellie George and Madeline Anderson, and Brenna Moen and Lyndsey Middendorf gave the Silverstreaks three points.
The deciding match came in a three-setter at second doubles. Litchfield’s Sophie Stilwell and Trinity Hawes held off Osakis’ Lauren Anderson and Madi Collins by a 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 final.
“Even though it was a team loss, this was a confidence boost for our team today,” coach Maddock said.
