The Salida High School girlsâ tennis team rebounded from Wednesdayâs loss to Pueblo West and trounced the Colorado Springs Christian School Lady Lions 6-1 Thursday at home.
Seniors Caroline Edgington and Raley Patch, the No. 1 doubles team, fought a tough battle for what coach Josh Bechtel called âour toughest win today,â winning their first set 7-6 with a 7-4 tiebreaker, losing their second set 4-6 then winning 10-8 on a 10-point tiebreaker.
âThey were looking to bounce back from yesterdayâs loss, and it was fun to watch them building up their confidence and aggression as they played,â Bechtel said. âThey fell behind about 4-0 during the third set tiebreaker, so we had a short talk, and they were ready to go for it. It was a great way to battle back.â
