Lady Tigers Overcome Injuries, Sweep Webb City

A lack of experience didn’t hurt the Lady Tigers tennis team on the road at Webb City Tuesday. Despite being forced to shuffle his lineup because of injuries, coach Eric Hanson saw his team sweep the Lady Cardinals 9-0. The JV team also turned in a 6-1 victory.

Injuries to Ashley Cameron and Tori Geisler have left the lower part of the lineup with inexperienced players in roles they weren’t previously expected to fill. That includes Makenzie Clark in the #6 singles spot, winning an 8-6 victory, and Kaytlin Pearce, who teamed with Clark in a doubles match victory, 8-6.

Here are full scores for varsity:

Singles
Dani Hopkins 9-7
