Great day of tennis for Atlantic girls — each girl went 2-1 on the day, and to finish solo 3rd in this tournament, with all girls medaling is a tremendous accomplishment for the team.  I was most proud of how they competed — it’s probably as tough mentally as we’ve been all season, up and down the lineup.  Liz and Shelby had things going their way in their first round match over a tough Valley team, but lost their feel a bit in the 2nd set and couldn’t get it going again in that match; it was nice to see them bounce back and dominate their final 2 matches to finish a respectable 5th — they were probably the 3rd or 4th best team in their draw, but that’s the way the draw fell.  Carli at #1 received a favorable draw, avoiding King and Pierson’s side of the bracket; having said that, she still had to beat two very capable players, and was largely in control of both matches before running into a tremendous opponent in the final; Carli was outstanding all day, and even in that match played very well.  Sarah was probably the biggest surprise of the day, getting her first win over a Red Oak opponent in several tries, controlling her match and her nerves and winning handily in Rd. 1.  She then played very well against Peterson from Valley, rallying to force a 2nd set tiebreak before falling; she bounced back nicely and won easily her 3rd place match — Sarah’s best tournament performance in her career.  Finally Morgan and Tierney — they beat a pair of seniors from Ottumwa who went on to win their next two matches, before falling to a tough Ames duo in the semis.  They played extremely well against Baker and Brunner in the 3rd place match, serving big and controlling the net to win easily.  I was very proud of all of the girls — hopefully they can ride the momentum they gained against a very difficult Denison at home on Monday.

Coach Ed DenBeste says:

This was a excellent win for us on an away course.  There are some very good
teams in the tournament.  Normally 4 to 5 teams from this tournament make it
to state.  Hopefully we can continue this through our final tournaments.
Ben Nelson and Matt Thielen played some great rounds.  Ben was one under on
the first nine.  Matt Thielen had 6 to 7 pars in a row.  Nice to see Sam
Markham and Evan Schuler played well.  Sam Renaud had a good score.  Travis
struggled but I know he will get it in the next round.
