Hi-Liner Tennis Finishes Off Perfect Regular Season with a Win Over Wahpeton
Valley City finished the regular season in style, breezing past the Wahpeton Huskies 8-1 to wrap up a perfect 11-0 regular season. With the EDC title already secured, the Hi-Liners could experiment with some line-up construction for the upcoming 3-2 match format for postseason play. Despite the roster shake-up, that didn’t stop Valley City from sweeping doubles play again, paving the way for another dominant win. Head Coach Matt Neilson talked about the different doubles pairings used for yesterday’s match, “Breck and Alyssa could be one potential doubles team in a 3-2 line-up with Abby and Ella as the other. We went with those two teams at #2 and #3 doubles to get more chemistry and experience together.”
