JOHNSON 5, ROOSEVELT 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Was this a preview of the Twin City match up? The city conference leaders faced off at Roosevelt, where competitive singles and doubles matches ended the unbeaten runs of Roosevelt\u2019s Mollie Anderson in first singles and the Teddies\u2019 Abideya Akalewod and Ella Fremstad in first doubles. \u00a0The Teddies were able to take two matches today, both at singles by the Mitchell sisters (Sophia Mitchell stays unbeaten at second singles). She needed three sets to dispatch Amelia Her. Sophia Mitchell took the first set with a comfortable 21-10 cushion. Her responded with a seven-point margin in the second before Mitchell rebounded with a four-point victory in the final frame. Her sister Lily took her match in two sets. There was another three setter, this time at first doubles, the only match to go three in doubles. Gaonou Vang and Angelina Thao dropped the first set and then picked up steam, or the Roosevelt duo faded going from 21 to 14 to 9.<\/p>\n

This was Johnson\u2019s second battle with a conference leader this week. Edina edged the Governors at Edina on Tuesday 4-3. Johnson is now 8-2 on the year. This was Roosevelt\u2019s second loss of the season, both outside of the conference. The Teddies are 10-2, the first squad to double digits.<\/p>\n

The Twin City title match will be held\u00a0 on Tuesday, May 5 with Minneapolis hosting. That may be Roosevelt. They have yet to face Camden, also unbeaten in conference action. As for Johnson, they are tied with Harding in St. Paul having split with the Knights. If both win the rest of their matches and there is a tie, I assume it goes to the program with the longest gap in the match up. That would be Harding.<\/p>\n

Amanda HER 2, Mollie ANDERSON 0
\n<\/strong>(21-19, 22-20)<\/p>\n

Amanda Her rallied for her two set win over previously undefeated Mollie Anderson. In both rallies the deficit was five. It was dramatic in the first set with Anderson holding a 19-14 lead. Her finished with the last seven points of the set. She got the bird back on a four-stroke smash. A series of hitting errors paved the way for Her\u2019s victory in set one. Set two required Her to go to extra points. First Anderson led 15-10. An eight-point surge by Her gave her an 18-15 lead. Anderson wasn\u2019t through. She had a run of four to again lead 19-18. The margins were thin. Her used a soft drive to tie it. Anderson then got the bird back on a wide hitting error after five strokes providing Anderson a set point opportunity. A four-stroke smash staved off that chance and Her never relinquished serve. Again, hitting errors sank Anderson\u2019s chances with a twelve-stroke clear that sailed too deep on the right side ending the night. For the match Her won the error category with 13 to 21 (lower being the better score).<\/p>\n

Anderson had a strong performance with a better side out game (.667 to .591) and more winners 26-22. But down the stretch in both sets Her was stronger or more consistent scoring 27 points after Anderson reached 11 first. The Teddy only was able to get 17.<\/p>\n

In looking at the winners, the shot of the day was the soft drive. Together both players had 17. Anderson led the way with 10. In the smash department Her won 7-4.<\/p>\n

Anderson was hampered by an ankle injury suffered on the second point of the match when attempting to reach a two stroke soft drive by Her.<\/p>\n

This was a marathon for two sets with the match time six seconds less than 28 minutes.<\/p>\n

With the loss Anderson is now 10-1. That leaves only one unbeaten first singles player—Jenny Lee of Community of Peace. There are two unbeaten second singles players left, one of which is Sophia Mitchell of Roosevelt. Her, who entered the week as the #1 ranked player, is 8-2 for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
