The Osakis girls tennis team had to work a little harder than most nights on Tuesday with a match against Wadena-Deer Creek, but the end result was the same -- another 7-0 victory that ran this group’s winning streak to nine matches to start the season.

“We had good efforts today on the road against a determined WDC team,” Osakis head coach Ryan Maddock said. “They have an up-and-coming team and they showed a lot of fight, so I was proud of our girls in keeping their focus and avoiding the upset bid. We played a different lineup in efforts of getting some more kids varsity playing time, and I thought they handled themselves well.”

Sydney Rach and MaKenzie Lien had the lone three-set win for Osakis as they took the second doubles match by a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 final. All the other match-ups were two-setters, but some of those were very close.

Tia Dykema won 6-2 in her first set at first singles before edging Madison Packer 7-6 (7-5) in the second. Larissa Hoffarth went back and forth with Libby Hartman at third singles and won 7-6 (7-1), 6-4, while Kennedy George won 6-4, 6-2 at the third spot and Bria Hoffarth added a straight-set win at fourth singles.

Mara VanNyhuis moved from her normal second singles spot and played first doubles with Leah Maddock. That duo won 6-2, 6-0, and Jayden Hensley and Hatti Schmidtbauer wrapped up the sweep with a 6-4, 6-1 win at third doubles.
