PELLA — The Webster City girls tennis team took on two of the top teams in the state here Friday in a triangular with Pella and Dike-New Hartford.

The Lynx lost both duals by scores of 9-0.

Pella claimed all nine matches in straight sets, as Alivia Burns scored four games at No. 3 singles and Cyra Christensen did the same at the No. 4 slot. Severe and Alivia Burns picked up three games in the first set vs. the top doubles team from Pella.

Gabbie Sebert pushed her match vs. Dike-New Hartford to a super-tiebreaker after winning the second set, 6-4. Burns won four games and Perla Torres three in their matches.

“Give credit to both those teams, they’re both ranked for a reason,” WCHS head coach Mark Fisher said. “This was a day we were hoping to play a lot of tennis, improve a lot and also get us mentally prepared for the kind of grind day-long tournaments can be with the North Central Conference and regionals coming up in a few weeks.

“And I thought we got a lot out of it. Teams like that will make you pay for any mistakes, and it allowed us to learn from those kind of mistakes. I thought we played better as the day went on, I thought we constructed some good points and I thought we were able to work on the mental side too.”

In junior varsity vs. Pella, Paisyn Bare and Haylee Ades, Miley Mason and Alaina Powgnas and Camdyn Coons and Powgnas all won matches. In junior varsity vs. Dike-New Hartford, Bare and Ades, Coons and Mason, Abby Blake and Ades and Maja Gordon and Powgnas were all winners.
