Scots' Tennis Freshman Making Impact in Early Season
Monmouth, IL (08/31/2019) — A trio of Scots' newcomers were involved in a pair of the closest matches of the day Saturday when Monmouth entertained Central College at the Monmouth College Tennis Stadium, the Scots' last tune up before opening league play.
Freshmen Isabel Hammond and Emily Henson took their Dutch counterparts to the limit at No. 3 doubles before falling 8-7, dropping a 7-3 tiebreaker. Emma Johanns and McKenzie DeVilder were edged 8-5 at No. 1 and the No. 2 team of Emily Laughlin and Alison Bowman fell 8-1.
Laughlin nearly got revenge in singles where she was edged in three sets at No. 3. The freshman dropped a close 7-5 first set, but roared to a 6-2 win in Set 2 to force a tiebreaker. Central eked out the win, 10-4. Central rolled to straight set wins in the rest of the singles trimming Johanns at No. 1, DeVilder at No. 2, and Bowman, Hammond and Henson at Nos. 4-6.
The Scots open Midwest Conference play Sept. 7 hosting Lake Forest and Ripon.
