Lehman takes 4th in Van Wert tourney

The Cavaliers finished fourth at the Van Wert tournament on Saturday.

“It was a good tournament for our team,” Lehman coach Tim Ungericht said. “They handled the heat very well in a long day of tennis and they also continued to conduct themselves with class. They are very fair with the score and line calls and exhibit good sportsmanship win or lose.”

In first singles, Taylor Reinke tied for fifth. She lost to St. Marys 8-2 and Lima Senior 8-3.

In second singles, Mary Lins finished fifth. She beat Defiance Ayersville 8-4, lost to St. Marys 8-4 and lost to Elida 8-2.

Lilly Williams finished third in third singles. She lost 8-7 to Van Wert, beat Defiance Ayersville and Wauseon 8-0 and St. Marys 8-4.

“Taylor Reinke played well against two very good players. She has made the jump from first doubles to first singles and her willingness to do it has been very important to our success as a team. Mary broke through for her first win this season and Lilly continued to be very strong mentally in coming back to finish third after a close first round loss. She is tied with Macie with the team lead in individual wins at nine.”

Elizabeth Jock and Macie Verdier finished third at first doubles. They beat Lima Senior 8-2, lost to St. Marys 8-2, beat Elida 8-5 and Van Wert 8-4.

“Elizabeth Jock stepped in with Macie at first doubles and had a nice tourney,” Ungericht said. “She has really improved since last year and gives us much needed depth. Madi made her first varsity appearance this season after being out with an illness and played well with Emma at second doubles. We have a very deep, experienced team this season. We are off to a 3-1 start with two good showings at tourneys.”
