er semifinal. Winners were to meet for the championship while losers played for third.
Playing as the third seed at numberthree doubles, Clarkson and Tlusty opened with a 6-3, 6-1 win over D.C. Everest’s sixth-seeded team of Sandra Brierton and Kaylee Dunow. It was their second win of the season over that Everest pairing. That led to a second-round rematch with Lakeland’s second-seeded team of Lila Biller and Alyssa Erickson (18-4), which the T-Birds won 6-1, 7-5. Those doubles team met for third time this season, with Lakeland winning the two big ones, this post-season match and the GNC title match at the flight.
Clarkson and Tlusty went 14-4 together playing in doubles flights two and three.
At number-two doubles, Marshfield’s third-seeded freshman team of Audrey Luedtke and Maddie Kundinger beat Medford’s junior team of Grace Holmes and Indya Mann 6-1, 6-1. Holmes and Mann went 13-13 together bouncing between flights one and two.
Medford knew wins in the top three singles brackets were going to be hard to get.
In flight one, second-seeded Tori Riopel of Rhinelander advanced with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Medford’s seventh-seeded senior Marcy Razink (2-12). Fourth-seeded Dawsyn Barkus was a 6-4, 6-2 winner over Medford’s fifth-seeded senior Jaylin Machon (9-14) in flight two. In flight three, third-seeded Shayla Coppenger of Rhinelander defeated Medford’s sixthseeded senior Morgan Strebig 6-0, 6-2.
