Crookston vs Osakis –
Crookston had a tough match with Osakis and won two matches, taking the first doubles match with Catherine Tiedemann and Emma Borowicz winning in straight sets and the second doubles team of Hayden Winjum and Emma Osborn won their match in straight sets. Crookston lost a three-setter at fourth singles.
“We loaded the doubles and won two of the three matches, but they were able to win all four singles matches,” said Coach Geffre. “Osakis is one of the top-ranked teams because they are very good, but I thought our girls played very well. We need to work on competing to the end of the match and as soon as we start doing that things could start going in our favor.”
Crookston will host a triangular on Tuesday with Moorhead and Thief River Falls coming to town.
