Troubies roll past Bulldogs for third straight win

Troubies roll past Bulldogs for third straight win

FOLSOM, Calif. – Senior Anna Dinh and Sophia Troppmann each came back from first-set losses to prevail in third-set tiebreakers as St. Francis swept all six singles matches in an 8-1 win over Folsom in Sierra Foothill League girls' tennis action Tuesday.

The Troubadours win their third straight match, improving to 6-5 overall and 4-5 in league play. The victory also offsets a 5-4 loss to the Bulldogs exactly four weeks earlier.

Dinh lost a 7-6 thriller to kick off her No. 4 singles matchup with Avery Dance, but stormed back to a 6-2 win in the second to force the one-game tiebreaker. Dinh then scored a 10-8 victory to complete the match. Similarly, Troppmann lost in a close 7-5 battle in the first set with Aahana Singh at No. 5 singles, but battled back to a 6-1 second set and a 10-7 tiebreaker set.

All other SF singles matches were settled in two: Maria McDougall posted her second straight 6-0, 6-1 victory at No. 1, Alexandra Wallace dominating with a 6-1, 6-1 triumph at No. 2, Tatum Walbeck returning to action for a 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 3, with Sarah Ramos-Lasso taking care of business at No. 6 with a 6-2, 6-2 win against Sarah Hood.

The Troubies also won two out of three doubles tilts, with Arden Garcia and Lena Mundhenk teaming up for a 6-3, 6-0 sweep at No. 2 and Ava Dezham and Nura Fananapazir winning, 6-3, 6-2, at No. 3 doubles.

St. Francis tennis returns to action on Thursday against Granite Bay. Originally scheduled as a road dual, this has moved to Rollingwood YMCA as a second home match due to a lack of available court space for the Grizzly program. The first round of matches start at 4 p.m.
