“I think we played pretty well. Shelby is an undefeated team and a notch above everyone else in the MOAC,” said Galion head coach Terry Gribble. “Our play has continued to get better and I think we’re going to get a couple more wins.”

Galion was able to get on the board as sophomore Emma Ross picked up a 6-3, 7-5 win for the Lady Tigers at No. 3 singles.

“She is now 13-5 on the season and it is her first year playing tennis,” said Gribble. “We are extremely pleased with where she was at the beginning of the year and what she has jumped to today.”

Senior Lydia McCabe fell in singles play 0-6, 0-6 against her Lady Whippets counterpart.

Junior Keiah Coulter dropped her singles match by a score of 0-6, 1-6.

“We are not double-faulting anywhere like we were was near the beginning of the year,” Gribble said. “We are better with our footwork. I think those two things have made a difference.”

In the other doubles match, Lady Tigers Emma Maguire and Kadence Fairchild fell 1-6, 0-6. Maguire and Fairchild turned in a good effort against a tough matchup.
