It was a busy final week to the Bonney Lake girls tennis team as the Panthers closed with its best finish.
The team won all three of its matches, completing a 9-1 run after dropping its first four matches of the season.
The week started against Peninsula May 3 with Bonney Lake coming out ahead 3-2. Coach Billy Jacobsen shuffled his lineup heading into the match, moving his top singles players to doubles to try and pull out the win, a move that ultimately proved successful as Asley Reisen teamed with Katie Barrie in the second doubles match to win 6-2, 6-0. In first doubles, Alise and Emily McCoy continued their path to the postseason with a 6-4, 6-1 victory. Jessica Roller and Kelsey Kober also won 6-1, 7-6.
In singles action, Molly Miculinich fell 6-0, 6-0 and Olivia Ottinger lost 6-2, 6-3.
May 4 brought Timberline to town for the year’s final home match and Bonney Lake did not disappoint with a 5-0 victory. Back in first singles, Reisen won 6-2, 6-3 and Ottinger won 6-1, 6-1. In doubles play, both the McCoy sisters and Roller and Barrie bested their opponents 6-0, 6-0 while Miculinich and Kober won 6-2, 6-1.
And in the year’s final match, Bonney Lake visited White River and left with a 3-2 victory with the Panthers’ doubles teams notching all three wins.
The McCoy sisters pulled out a 6-1, 6-1 win while Barrie and Roller beat Kelli Hoffman and Heidi Lyons 6-1, 6-1 and Kober and Miculinich bested Taylor Wombacher and Katie Durrant 6-2, 6-1.
