SIOUX FALLS – The Aberdeen Central girls’ tennis program claimed two victories in three matches Friday, the first of the two-day Sioux Falls Invitational.

The Golden Eagles grabbed wins over Sioux Falls Washington and Sioux Falls Jefferson by 9-0 and 8-1 scores, respectively. Central then fell to Sioux Falls O’Gorman 7-2 in the third match of the day.

Central began the day with a sunny win over Jefferson, a match that included a hard-fought tiebreaker win from Livia Douglas at fourth-flight singles.

Rain then forced teams indoors during the win over Washington. Teams had access to just two courts for that dual, so scoring moved to 8-game pro-sets in the interest of time, said Central coach John Vogel.

“The girls stayed focused and took care of business,” he said.

Central then ended the day against O’Gorman where it suffered its only loss of the day.

“(O’Gorman) is a top-notch team, and they got us,” Vogel said. 

Central’s Emily Ringgenberg was a singles and a doubles match away from having a perfect day, while Laney Gonsor nearly pulled off a third straight singles victory in the O’Gorman match.

The Golden Eagles were victorious in all three third-flight doubles matches, though all three combinations were different.

“We were trying many 3-doubles combos today, but Laney and Reese Comstock took control of that (O’Gorman) match right away,” Vogel said, noting that combination may be the primary one going forward.

“Overall, we’re pleased with how the girls handled the conditions (Friday), but we are hoping we play even better (Saturday) against Roosevelt and Lincoln,” Vogel said.
