Raider tennis prepares for the late season stretch

The Raider tennis team played two matches last week on the road.

At Liberty Bell, the Raider boys picked up one win in a singles match. Cristian Ruiz defeated Fallen Hutson after two hours of play.

The Raider girls won two matches. Areielle White won her singles match, and the duo of Mary Clark and Rylee Pitner won their doubles match. Harmony Witten, in singles, and the doubles team of Tanya Ang and Alaynah Herman came close to winning their matches. Witten’s lasted two and a half hours before the last tiebreaker ended in Lucy Dupont’s favor.

At Pateros, the doubles team of Malcom Carson and Aiden Derr won by a convincing margin. Areielle White’s match went back and forth before winning.

“In their first meeting at our very first match of the season,” Head Coach Steve Archer said, “Looper had defeated Areielle White but this time she turned the tables and got the win.”

Archer noted that beginner and eighth-grader Loryn Moore has “picked up the game rather quickly. She is a natural fighter and forces her opponent to a tiebreaker losing only by two points.”

Last night the Raiders took on Entiat at home. Tomorrow LR will travel to Oroville for a 4 p.m. match. Then on Friday LR heads up to Wilbur for a 4 p.m. match.
