EAST TROY — It may have been the first action of the season for Monroe tennis, but No. 2 singles Ryann Dahlman looked in mid-season form. The sophomore went 5-0 at the East Troy Invite Aug. 19-20 while the Cheesemakers finished 3-2 in duals.
“Ryann finished with another great day and moved to 5-0 to start the season,” Monroe head coach Matt Bordner said.
Monroe bounced back from a 6-1 loss to Union Grove with a 5-2 win over Whitewater, a Rock Valley Conference opponent. The singles lineup, which did not change throughout the tournament, swept. Allie Adrian and Alexis Gertsch picked up the lone doubles with at No. 3, a spot in the lineup that saw numerous changes throughout the tournament.
In its third match of the first day, the Cheesemakers dropped close one to Fort Atkinson-Cambridge. Monroe lost its first three matches but won its next three. The match came down to No. 3 doubles, where Adrian and Teresa Gratz “didn’t have quite enough consistency to pick up the win,” Bordner said.
On the second day, Monroe went toe-to-toe with two RVC opponents — Delavan-Darien and Edgerton — winning four super tiebreakers to defeat both teams.
“It’s pretty rare to go 4-0 in super tiebreakers, so I was happy to see us come up big in the close matches,” Bordner said.
