Lady netters look for upsets at divisional

Whitefish’s girls tennis team heads to

the Northwest A divisional tourney in Libby on a high note after

knocking off the Lady Loggers 5-2 last week.

The highlight of the dual came in the

No. 1 doubles match when Ryan Chauner and Haley Craven took down a

team that beat them easily earlier in the year. The duo revenged

the loss with a 6-1, 6-3 victory.

“They are going into divisional on an

up note,” Whitefish coach Patrick Dryden said.

None of the girls on Whitefish’s roster

will play in the tourney as a ranked player, but Dryden says that’s

to be expected for a team in rebuilding mode. Of the four singles

players making the trip to Libby, three are freshman. On the

doubles side, four are sophomores and two are juniors.

“We’ll plug away and see how far we can

go in the bracket,” Dryden said. “The whole point is to look to the

future.”
