Upper Sandusky and Ontario played a 3-2 match for the second time this year, but this time, the Rams came out on top with a three-set match making the difference.
Megan Pasco and Nadia English won for the first time since becoming No. 2 doubles partners, defeating Kelsey Baker and Aliviea Schanee, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6.

The Rams got their other two victories much more easily. Kilee Saylor topped Destiny Burdine, 7-5, 6-2, at No. 2 singles, and at No. 3 singles, it was Jenny Ohler defeating Emily Kinny, 6-1, 6-4.
“Both Saylor and Ohler played extremely well against formidable competitors,” Miller said.
Upper Sandusky’s duo of Logan Pierson and Taylor Dilley came up just shy at No. 1 doubles, losing to Brittany Duffey and Emilee burson, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6.
