Game, set, match to the Lady Cats.

The Superior tennis team hosted a mixer match with Alberton, Mission and Granite Friday and coach Rick Berreth’s Cats scratched their way to wins in four of the six matches Superior netters played.

In the highlight of the day for Superior, freshman Kamryn Church, stepping up into the role of No. 1 singles, defeated Granite’s No. 1 Avery Rich 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.

In doubles play, fellow freshmen Cats Alysa Wickham and Mady Neu teamed up to defeat their Mission opponents 6-0, 6-1, and their Mission foes 6-3, 6-4.

In other singles action, Lilly Capp fell 6-1, 6-0 to one Mission foe but defeated another Bulldog player 7-6 (7-5).

Church lost 8-5 to a Mission opponent in another No. 1 singles match.

Berreth pointed to several highlights of the day, including the fact that the doubles team of Wickham and Neu, freshmen playing at No. 1 doubles, improved their season record to 6-1, while Church also improved to 6-1 as a freshman at No. 1 singles.

A first-year tennis player, Capp is now a respectable 4-3 for the season.

Superior’s normal Nos. 1 and 2 singles players, Josie Crabb and Peri Jasper, went on a school trip abroad the last part of March and are expected to return to the courts for Superior soon.
