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

MOROCCO, Ind. â Freshman pitcher Summer Wynn tossed a no-hitter as North Newton rolled to a 14-1 win over Tri-County on May 11.
With the win, North Newton improved to 6-8 overall and 3-0 in the Midwest Conference.
Wynn allowed just one walk, and the Lady Spartan defense had a couple of errors to account for Tri-Countyâs lone run. Wynn finished with seven strikeouts in the win.
The Lady Spartans scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning, two in the second and four in the third.
Phoebe Busboom was 3 for 3 from the plate with five RBIs to lead the North Newton attack. Cayci Ehlinger was 3 for 3 with two runs batted in, and Wynn was 1 for 1 with two RBIs.
The Lady Spartan tennis team remains untested as yet another team forfeits because of COVID-19 quarantines. Colorado Springs School Kodiaks called off the Tuesday afternoon match just a half hour before the Spartans were to hit the road.
Spartan coach Josh Bechtel said his team was excited to play their first match and were disappointed by the late cancellation. He added, âIt would be really nice to get our first match played and get the new players experience against other teams.â
On a positive note, he said, it will give the team more time to prepare for their home matches against Pueblo West at 3 p.m. Monday. The public is welcome to come watch the matches and support the Salida girls.
