A closely-contested match-up at No. 4 doubles is all that kept the Pella Christian girls tennis team from sweeping their Tulip City rivals yesterday afternoon, as the Lady Eagles powered past Pella
High 10-1.
The Lady Eagles took all but one of their wins in straight sets, while Pella’s tandem of Morgan Ernst and Diana Zabrudora battled their way to a 7-5, 6-4 victory for the Lady Dutch’s only victory.
The Pella girls return to conference action tomorrow at Knoxville; while Pella Christian will use the remainder of the week to prepare for Monday’s Little Hawkeye Conference meet.
