Lady Dragons tennis Head Coach Kristin Unverzagt tells us about the section finals win against Foley.
The Dragon tennis team came to battle a tough Foley team to win the section 7A title with a 5-2 win. The first five matches to play were 2nd through 4th singles and 2nd through 3rd doubles. The great play and strong mental game helped the team come out with a 4-1 in the first round of matches. At 2 singles, Allison Unverzgat had amazing rallies and battled a great opponent to earn our 4th point. Our second doubles had one of their tightest matches of the season and came out on top with their strong play and net game. At three and four singles, the composure of Roubinek and Struss allowed the team to have the first two points with their decisive play. Our third doubles team had a strong first set and then the other team came up with some strong shots to take the win. To close out the day, 1st doubles battled hard but fell in a third set tie breaker. Brooke Boland wrapped up the day with a win for a third set tie breaker. Overall, our team's stamina and mental toughness is what prevailed. We are so proud of this team and look forward to our third consecutive trip to the state tournament! They earned it today!
