Although the team expected the match to be close, they did not anticipate winning every match, according to senior player Macy Warren.

Kenzie Jennings added, “Its always nice to put a splinter in their wooden shoes.”

The match consisted of 6 singles and 3 doubles competitions.

The number one doubles team of Kenzie Jennings  and Brooke Winka won in two games,  6-1 and 6-1. Number two doubles, Macy Warren and Allison Carder, also won in two with scores of  6-2 and 7-5, and Morgan Luttrell and Kasey Jennings followed suit, winning 6-2 and 6-1.

The ‘gals nearly pulled off another sweep on Thursday, Sept. 4 when they topped Centralia eight matches to one. This was another surprise win for the Wolfgals.

“We didn’t expect to win against Centralia; we expected to get beat badly,” Warren explained.
