Pella and Knoxville’s tennis teams met on the courts Tuesday for a Little Hawkeye Conference meet. There wasn’t much drama to be had on the boys’ side, as the Little Dutch swept the Panthers 11 – 0. The girls’ match finished in favor of host Knoxville, however, 6 – 5. Pella head coach, Tiffany Rohe said that she was very proud of her girls for fighting hard in every match, down to the final game. Zoe Vermeer was absent as she was busy in goal for the soccer team. A full list of results for all four teams can be found below. Pella’s boys and girls play Norwalk next on Thursday, and this time it will be the boys making that road trip.
