Troubies fall to Trojans in tennis tilt

Troubies fall to Trojans in tennis tilt

FOLSOM, Calif. – Sophomore Maria McDougall and freshman Alexandra Wallace led St. Francis with straight-set victories at the top two singles matches, but the Troubadours ultimately dropped three of the six singles and two of the three doubles in falling to Ok Ridge, 5-4, in Sierra Foothill League girls' tennis dual action at Broadstone Sports Club Tuesday night.

SF falls to 8-7 overall and 6-7 in league play. The Trojans improve to 13-10 for the season, including 9-4 in SFL matches. OR trails just Granite Bay (12-1) and Davis (10-3) in the league standings.

McDougall dispatched junior Ria Gandhi by scores of 6-3, 6-0 at No. 1 singles, while Wallace prevailed against sophomore Ilayda Koker 6-3, 6-2, at No. 2 singles. Junior Sophia Troppman picked up the third SF singles win, outlasting Emma Trier by set scores of 7-6, 6-4.

Arden Garcia and Lena Mundhenk teamed up for the lone Troubie doubles triumph, battling Emerson Bickel and Makenna Lilienthal for a 7-5 first-set win, then rolling to a more decisive 6-3 effort in the second.

St. Francis wraps up its league dual season with a home match against Davis on Thursday. This will start at 3 p.m. at the Troubies' home venue of Rollingwood YMCA. The dual was moved up by an hour to allow the SF students to return to campus for Homecoming activities that evening.
