Cadillac blanks Alpena in third meeting of year
Alpena’s Cara Gonzalez returns a ball to Cadillac’s Libby Dorrell in the No. 2 singles tennis match Thursday at Alpena High School.
The Alpena tennis team has become familiar with Cadillac, facing them for the third time this season on Thursday, but the Vikings dominated this meeting in an 8-0 win at Alpena High School.
At No. 2 doubles, Erin Bedtelyon and Katie Reynolds faced the Vikings duo of the Kristen Maury and Stephanie Widrig. The teams split in the previous two meetings, and Mary and Widrig started with a 3-2 lead in the first set of Thursday’s meetings. But the Vikings team rallied taking four of the next five points to grab the first set 6-4.
Maury and Widrig carried the momentum into the second set opening a 4-1 lead and taking the set 6-3.
“Because of their height, (Bedtelyon and Reynolds) keep a lot of balls in play,” said Alpena tennis coach Charlie Giordano.
No. 1 singles Ashley Giordano, who was playing with an injured knee, faced her opponent, Jaclyn Shappa, for the third time this season.
