Wildcats dismantle the War Hawks

April 18, 2013 by Brittney Johnson

Wednesday, the Wildcats played one last match to end their regular season. Both the men’s and women’s team challenged McMurry, our neighbors down the road, and did not break a sweat as they landed the Warhawks.

The women’s team didn’t take long to claim their victory, as some matches took only 45 minutes.

In singles, three matches were 6-0 straight and two had the score of 6-1, 6-0.

Micah Hermsdorf who defeated Lauren Renner, Brittney Reed who matched with Sydney Gonzalez, and Hannah Kelley were the matches with a score of 6-0.

The matches of Laura Mongin who faced Salitza Abrantes and Kaysie Hermsdorf who challenged Jessica Bentley finished with a 6-1, 6-0 score and Emily Conrad had her 12th win of the season against Brandy Curry, 6-3, 6-1

The team won all three of the doubles matches.

Two duos served up an 8-4 match, Jamie Lee Denton and  K. Hermsdorf  and M. Hermsdorf and partner Kelley. Pair Mongin and Reed defeated McMurry’s  Gonzalez and Chelsea Miller 8-2.

The women’s team added a 9-0 win to their winning streak, now at 10 games straight, making them 22-5 overall this season with a 5-0 record in the Lone Star Conference as they head to the LSC Championship Tournament this weekend.

The men’s team end their regular season on a high note as they made a huge comeback after their disappointing trip in Florida last weekend.

The team won 5 of 6 of their single matches.

Hach Hans faced off against  Chris Breaux 6-2, 6-2. Guilherme Gesser matched up with Felipe Cruz 6-4, 4-6, 10-4. Alfredo Desiati put in work and defeated Christiano Mendes 7-5, 7-6 (7-2).

Nicklas Wingord took on Dani Perez 6-2, 6-4 and Borja Cortes finished 6-3, 6-4 against Preston Steblein.

The squad won 2 of 3 doubles matches.

Hach partnered with Gesser defeated Breaux and Casjen Rico 8-2 and Cortes with Jason Proctor challenged   pair Cruz and  Perez 8-3.

The Wildcats celebrated a 7-2 victory, which improved their season to 13-14 overall with a 1-2 conference mark.

Both teams head to Southlake to start the road in defending their title as conference champs.

The No. 2 seed men’s team will first match up against the University of the Incarnate Word, while the top-seed women’s team will play the winner of the Incarnate Word versus Cameron match.
