The Columbia Falls High School tennis teams were in action on the road Saturday as the boys picked up a 5-2 victory while the girls fell by the same score.
Hannah Schweikert defeated Maddie Weber 6-0, 6-0 for one of the Wildkat victories while Maria Vizcay-Vincenth defeated Olivia Peretto 6-0, 6-2 for the other.
Katy Garate fell to Mackaela Hawthorne 6-0, 6-0 and Julia Sowerine fell to Celine Betz 6-3, 6-4.
In doubles play, Taylor Jarrett and Grace Gedlaman fell to Jaymyn Beller and Callie Cavill 6-0, 6-0, Gwen Foust and Martina Heupel fell to Crystal St. Germain and Aliya Anderson 6-0, 6-1 and Ave McDonald and Anne Lybbert fell to Anya Murphy and Julie Slatto 6-2, 6-1.
“Hannah had a great match Saturday. Her serve is her strongest weapon, and she’s doing a great job working on mixing it up a little and on making sure her second serve is in,” head coach Gene Marcille said. “I was also really excited about the play of Maria Vizcay Vicentin in her singles match and about sophomore Julia Sowerine and freshman Grace Gedlaman. All of these young ladies are new to varsity tennis, and I think they have very bright futures.”
In boys action, John Gilk defeated David Haacke 6-3, 6-4, Neila Getts took down Garrison Bradt 6-3, 6-4, Camryn Lindge beat Matt Hock 6-0, 6-1, the doubles team of Colton Byrd and Bobby Dewbre beat Austin Armijo and Sebastion Driver 6-3, 7-6 (0) and Dylan Anderson and Caleb Reinsburg took down Domenic Bridges and Dylan James 6-7 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (7).

Both squads will be at FVCC Thursday as they host Whitefish starting at 1 p.m.
