STOUGHTON - The Monroe Cheesemakers swept the singles and took two out of three doubles matches to beat Stoughton, 6-1, Tuesday and stay undefeated in the Badger South.
In the singles matchups, Monroe's No. 1 singles player Carson Root defeated Stoughton's Mike Palmer, 6-0, 6-1, and No. 2 singles player Taylor Soddy defeated Mitch Jackson 6-0, 6-1. The Cheesemakers completed the sweep as No. 3 singles player Eric Knudtson topped Thor Jeppson, 6-1, 6-2 while No. 4 singles player Jess Hager grinded out a 6-1, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3) victory over Elijaa Thunell of Stoughton.
The Cheesemakers had to work hard to win in the doubles. The No. 1 doubles team of Patrick Gellings and Garrett Tschanz handled the Vikings' No.1 doubles team of Zack Opheim and John Evans, 6-1, 6-0. At No. 2 doubles, Jakob Baertschi and Cristian Noriega earned a hard-fought 7-5, 7-5 win over Stoughton's Sam Schulz and Ryan Leroy. The No. 3 doubles team of Luke Molinaro and Luke Andraski fell to Will Sharp and Nick Clerkin of Stoughton, 7-5, 6-2.
"Overall, we played another nice match tonight," said Monroe head coach Brad Saugstad. "(No.) 1, 2, 3 singles and (No.) 1 doubles took care of business pretty easily. They jumped out to big leads and never let their opponents get any momentum."
Monroe's hosts undfeated Madison Edgewood Thursday.
