The tennis team beat Park Center in the 1st round of sections yesterday at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. Abby Ness played what I believe her 2 best matches in a row. She is hustling after all points and moving the ball around. Kelsie won her match at 2nd singles in 3 sets. Played a great 3rd set commanding the points with her serve and ground strokes. Gabby Newton won her 1st set in a tiebreaker but turned her 2nd set by winning 6-2. Today we play Rogers at their courts with 2 players in the same spots versus with what we are going with today. I believe we can make this match very competitive. Results are as follows:

Coon Rapids tennis team competed in Moose Girl's Tennis Tournament on Saturday in Brainerd. It is a 8 team tournament hosted by Brainerd and Roseau tennis teams. The team is flighted by position which means you are played in 2 pools of 4 and you play each team once. Based on how you do, you are seeded in a bracket for one match. The girls team placed 4th out of 8 teams which is good showing. Some of the highlights were:
- Gabbi Newton 1st singles she only won once but made huge strides; 1st round match she lost 6-3, 7-6; 2nd round match she lost 6-3, 7-5; 3rd round she won 6-2, 6-2; last round match she lost 7-5, 7-5. She did great putting points together and there are going to be promising days ahead for her.
- Abby Ness at 2nd singles was 2-2 on the day; Abby has been losing a lot of 3 setters lately and today she played great.
- Mary Olson at 3rd singles finally got her elusive win at singles. Mary has won in doubles several times this year but since we moved her to doubles it was great to see.
- Kelsie and Emily at 1st singles were 2-2 for the day. They had some great points which were very exciting to see.

Over the past 2 days the tennis team competed against Champlin Park and Spring Lake Park. Team lost to Champlin Park 7-0 who is one of the better teams in the conference as well as the section. Spring Lake Park was a 6-1 loss which was an extremely close match. Champlin Park our doubles had some close matches especially at 1st Doubles. 2nd doubles was a close match even though the score doesn't show it, a lot of games went to deuce we just couldn't close out. Spring Lake Park match we lost 3rd singles, 1st and 2nd doubles in 3 sets. Mary Olson was playing her 1st Varsity match at singles and she was working so hard in her games. Once Mary hits through like she does in doubles she will be a force in singles like what she does in doubles. 1st doubles and 2nd had their chances against Spring Lake Park. I truly believe that if they stay with the plan on what we do in practice they will win more matches. All squads are at home today against Irondale and tomorrow we travel to Maple Grove. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapids 0 Champlin Park 7

The Coon Rapids tennis team had 2 more yesterday at Monticello. In the 1st round we went up against Saint Michael Albertville which we lost 6-1. Our 1st 2 singles spots with Abby and Gabi improved from their 1st set to 2nd set. 2nd doubles lost in 3 sets. Brooklyn won her 2nd straight match in a row. We had our changes but did not capitalize when we had our chances. In the 2nd round we went up against Monticello which we won 5-2. It was a much closer score match than what the score showed. Gabi Newton won her 1st match at 1st singles with an amazing come from behind win. Gabi lost the first set 6-0. I suggested a couple of items and she pulled out a 6-3 2nd set win, 3rd set was a super tiebreaker which she won 10-8. Abby Ness won her 1st match of the season, Abby played extremely great yesterday. I think this will lead into many more wins for Abby.

On August 24 the girls tennis team lost a close match to Andover 4-3. We were missing Abby Ness who was out sick but we did get back Brooklyn Nienaber who played in the singles lineup. Gabi Newton played a great match in a losing effort. As a coach you hope that adjustments that are made help in 2nd sets and Gabi lost 6-2, 7-5. Brooklyn won her first match of the season in 3 sets. She kept with her game plan on moving her opponent around which was great to see. 1st doubles won in straight sets. 2nd doubles won in 3 sets. They keep moving to the net and looking for the next ball to close it out. The match came down to 3rd doubles who lost 6-3 in the 3rd. They did a great job and so close.

The girls tennis team started the 2021 season off with 2 tournaments in 2 days. On August 20 we competed in the Stillwater Invitational. In the first round we went up against Mathomedi who is usually a top 15 team in the state. We lost 7-0 in all of our matches in straight sets. Our girls haven't seen hitting like this for over 2 years so it was great exposure to see what the top teams are like. Next round we went against Forest Lake and also lost 7-0. We lost 1st doubles in 3 sets with Kelsie and Emily, they had their changes to close out the match. Gabby Newton is the lone 9th grader on Varsity right now and she lost a close match 6-3, 6-3. Zoe and Mary also had their chances at 2nd doubles. In the last match of the day we went up against St. Paul Harding which was a very exciting match. We moved the players around as they were getting exhausted and it was one of the longest tennis days I have ever had. Heat index was hovering around 85-90 most of the day. During this match we put out 1st, 2nd and 3rd singles and the same spots in doubles. We lost all of the singles in straight sets and won all of the doubles in straight also. Zoe Scheck won her first varsity match also with Mary Olson. For us to secure our first win of the season we would have to win 4th singles. We decided to play Grace Graham who is a senior and ever played tennis before. In fact this was her first time playing a full singles match. In our discussion amongst coaches we decided to tell Grace that she was the deciding point. So Coach Nelson told her that if she won we would win the match. Grace won in straight sets and to have this knowledge about our outcome is amazing. This shows what GRIT, PERSEVERANCE and DETERMINATION is. I hope all of our tennis players can play with this. Way to go Grace super proud of what you did in your 1st singles match ever. On August 21st we were having another round robin at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. In the first round we went up against Buffalo who beat us 6-1. Our lone point was at 2nd doubles with Mary Olson and Zoe Scheck. Next round was Cretin-Derham Hall and we pulled out a victory 5-2. Lili Newton playing at 4th singles won her first varsity match ever in straight sets. Nina Weimholt also won her first match of the season at 3rd singles. All of the doubles won also. In our last round of the day we played Hibbing who beat us 6-1. We are a very inexperienced team this year but out of the top 12 that played today 11 are in other sports, so with this being said I believe they will improve fast. Mary Olson and Zoe Scheck came out last year and between the 2 of them had a total of 11 varsity matches. Currently they are 4-2 and 2nd doubles which is outstanding. Gabby Newton is going to be mainly playing 1st singles this year which is a big step from 1 match at 3rd singles and 2 matches at 4th singles for a 9th grader. It is going to be amazing to watch her growth this season and she will be a solid point for us over the next 4 years. Our next match is against Andover at home on the Bob Pivec tennis courts.

Yesterday the Coon Rapids tennis team lost to Armstrong 4-3 to end the season. It was extremely nice that the State High School league included consolation this year to give players more matches since it was reduced considerably. Normally we have 24 matches which includes round robin tournaments. It is unfortunate that there are no individual sections this year; it would have been great to see some of our players play. In our match Kaytlyn lost 6-3, 7-5 where earlier in the year she lost 6-1, 6-0 so she competed great against her opponent. Kaydee Hinn continued to play top notch winning in straight sets. Rowan and Mary won their 3rd match in row. It's too bad they weren't put together earlier in the year. Ella had another great match losing in the 3 sets. As a season as a whole we lost 5 4-3 matches. We are going to lose some significant players from this year's team but at the same time we have some significant contributors for next year. Our first doubles team of Kelsie and Emily will be a solid point next year. We have some youth coming through in Gabi Newton and Nina Weimholt. We had some new players this year that could help next year; Lilly Newton, Jennifer Carslon, Brooklyn Nienaber, Zoe Scheck and Mary Olson. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapids 3 Armstrong 4
1st Singles Kaytlyn Syverson lost 6-3, 7-5

In the first round of sections the Coon Rapids Cardinals played the 7th seed Buffalo High School. We went into the section match with pulling up 1 player who was seeing their first Varsity match at 4th singles. Zoe played a great match before losing 6-3, 6-3. All doubles won which was great see as we have been working on this quite a bit lately. It was the first time this season that Kaytlyn and Ella played together. They played great in taking control of the nest. Due to reduction of matches the tennis team is now in the consolation brackets and hosts Cooper on Wednesday at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. Presently there are no individual sections scheduled which is said as we have some pretty good doubles teams that could make it far in this tournament. Results are as follows:

The girls tennis team lost to Totino Grace 4-3. The match came down to our 3rd doubles. At the start of the 3rd set I told our team that the match was tied and that if they win we would win the match. If for some reason we would lose the 3rd set we would lose the match. I was so proud of how hard they competed and on top of it they had 3 match points in the 3rd set tiebreaker. In addition, watching or top 3 singles players win was a joy. Our last match of the regular season is Park Center at the Bob Pivec tennis courts.

They beat Champlin Park 1st doubles and in 2nd round beat Osseo. In the 3rd round they competed against Delano 1st doubles. We started out closing out the points placing our shots to the correct areas on the court. We were up 4-1 when Delano started playing both back and we did not have a way to deal with this change. We ended up the season with a 15-4 record and we had 8 4-3 matches that we won 6 of them. We are graduating a considerable amount of players that I have the utmost confidence that our underclass players will step in to fill in there roles. Thank you seniors you will be missed.

~~~~Over the last 2 days the Coon Rapids tennis team played 2 matches against Blaine and Rogers who are a new school to our conference. On Wednesday as has been the case for quite a few matches it was another close tennis match.

In winning this match it shows that our tennis team competes hard and with heart. 4 of the matches went 3 sets and we won 3 of them. The 3 matches we won in 3 sets we won 1st set, lost 2nd and won the 3rd. Amazing how these ladies compete. I keep pushing them and ask them to make adjustments on the fly and they are receptive. Truly honored to be working with these fine young ladies. Today we have to finish our match with Spring Lake Park from last week. We have 3 points secured already, we just need one more point. Upon completion we than head to Brainerd for a 8 team tennis tournament on Saturday. Currently we are 7-1 and won and maybe 8-1 after today

This was a very close match even though the scores do not show it. During the first week of school we have 3 matches plus a tournament.

On Saturday the Coon Rapids team opened up 2019 tennis season at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. In the first round we competed against Buffalo. The tennis team lost to Buffalo 6-1 with Anna Beczkalo winning at 4th singles 6-3, 6-2. This was Anna's 1st varsity win and varsity match, she played great moving her opponent around in all areas of the box. 3rd Doubles of Ella Giorgi and Sophia Murrillo lost in 3 sets. This was also Ella's first varsity match. Anna Samit at 3rd singles lost in close match also. 2nd round we played against Cretin and lost 5-2. 1st doubles of Carly and Emma won in a 3rd set super tiebreaker. Ellen and Jersie won in straight sets which was great to see. Normally Ellen plays singles and is shows that she can play high levels at doubles.Alyssa Ross and Kaydee Hinn played their first varsity matches and lost in a close match. Anna at 4th had another close match. Singles are doing good things we just need to close out on our points when we have the opposing players pinched in the corners. 3rd round we played against Hibbing and lost 4-3. Anna Samit was on a mission at 3rd singles beating her opponent 6-0, 6-0. Anna B won also in straight sets. Ella G and Kaydee H won their first varsity match in the super tiebreaker. Ella and Kaydee kept attacking their opponents by coming into the net which made Hibbing start to play from the baseline. I asked them if they wanted to play back from the baseline (hoping they would want to keep attacking) since Hibbing was doing this and at the same time they said they want to keep getting into the net. They won the super tiebreaker 10-4. As the day went along our players competed hard. Our first conference match of the season is against Elk River on Tuesday. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapids 1 Buffalo 6

The girls tennis team on Tuesday and competed against Elk River. We knew going into the match was going to be a tough match. At the start of the match I knew they were a good team. We ended up loosing 6-1. There were some highlights during the match. Anna Beczkalo won in an epic match which the Elk River said. Anna lost the first set 6-7 and than came back to win 7-5 in the 2nd. The match was already decided so we had them play a supertiebreaker for the 3rd. Anna won this 15-13. First doubles played a pretty good match loosing 6-3, 6-3. 2nd doubles lost 6-0, 6-4 in what was great seeing them play a much better 2nd set. On Wednesday the tennis team played against Monticello which is a team in our section. The lady Carsinals came out on top by wining 5-2. Grace Hannula won her first match playing at 1st singles. Kaydee Hinn and Sophia Murillo won their match at 3rd doubles. In the second match of the tri angular we went up against Saint Michael Albertville which is also in our section. As the match was going on we knew we were in a fight as STMA took a commanding lead by winning the first 2 singles spots with our players winning only 1 games. Anna Samit at 3rd singles lost 6-3, 6-2 giving STMA a 3-0 lead. As these were finishing up we had won the first sets at 4th singles and all the doubles spots. Anna Beczkalo won in straight sets bringing the match score to 1-3. All 3 doubles were in tight 2nd sets. We ended closing out 1st and 2nd doubles bringing the match score to 3 - 3. It came down to 3rd doubles wining in the 2nd set tiebreaker. Ella Giorgi who played volley ball last year has helped us out in our doubles game. Currently the tennis team is at 2-4 and we are starting to get a handle on were our players will be playing. Anna Beczkalo at 4th singles is 5-1.

On Tuesday we lost to Totino Grace 6-1. 1st doubles had a great set and than Totino started lobbing to get us off the net. Smart strategy and I had our players start stopping around service line but they go a little frustrated with this. 2nd doubles had the same thing. Kaytlyn had a great match at 2nd even though she lost. Anna B won again at 4th singles. Thursday match we lost to Centennial 6-1.

The Coon Rapids tennis team competed against Blaine at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. Last year the tennis team lost to Blaine 7-0. Going into the match I told the players that the match would be 4-3 for us or Blaine. As the match was going we won quickly at 3rd singles with Anna B and Blaine won at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd doubles. With that being said we had 1st doubles, 2nd doubles and 4th singles still playing and needing them to win. 1st doubles of Carly Nelson and Emma Newton won in straight sets in what was close match. Anna Samit at 4th singles won her first set pretty one sided and her opponent played a great 2nd set wining 6-4. While Anna was playign her 3rd set our 2nd doubles of Jersie Schreder and Kaytlyn Syverson were in their 2nd set. Blaine won their 2nd set bringing another match to a 3rd set. So the match points are 2-3 and Coon Rapids needs both points to win. At the start of her 3rd set I suggested a couple of items and I thought this would make her 3rd set a little easier. Anna ended up wining her 3rd set 6-1 bringing our match score to 3-3. In the 3rd set with 2nd doubles and I asked our team to get serves and returns in this would be the difference in the match. It was a very windy day and what ever team could handle this would win their match. Kaytlyn and Jersie played a smart 3rd set closing out a 4-3 win for the Cardinals tennis team. We are playing better and with section play starting in a week and a half we are getting close. Currently we are 7-8
Results are as follows:
1st Singles: Ellen Everhart lost 6-3, 6-3

Yesterday the tennis team lost a very close match to Rogers in the second round of sections. I am so honored to coach such a great group of young ladies. It was a very interesting match in that we played Rogers earlier in the season and all spots were the same except their 4th singles. It was a case of reversal of fortunes in our results. Last time we played them we lost at 2nd doubles and 3rd singles this time we won. In addition, last time we won at 1st and 3rd doubles this time they won. As the match was going on it came down to our 2nd and 3rd doubles that we needed to win. Both matches went to 3 sets with 2nd doubles wining in the 3rd set to bring the overall score to 3 and 3. It all came down to 3rd doubles to pull out the victory and we came out on the short end of 7-5 lose at the 3rd set. We had our chances and Ella and Kelsie played their hearts out. As a team we made considerable progress and improved as the season went along.

Yesterday the girls tennis team beat Andover in which was one of my most exciting tennis matches that I have been involved in during my years of coaching. It was a 4-3 victory with 3 matches going 3 sets. Kaytlyn lost a 3 set close match in which the games were going back and forth during the whole match. At 3rd doubles Jersie and Anna they won in 3 sets. They lost the first set 6-1 and than won the next two sets 6-1. I suggested to the players to do something different in the start of the second set. As they were playing they started hitting better shots and before you know it they were in the end of third set. Mya and Megan won in 3 sets. As they were in their 2nd set the match was tied 3 all. They were up in the second at 4-1 when Andover started making shots which they ended up winning 7-5. In the 3rd set the games were going back and forth. There were times in the 3rd set that Andover and our team had match points but the other team fought off the points. In the tie breaker each team had 5 match points when finally Mya and Megan hit some great shots wining their match at 14-12. I was so proud on how hard they competed. The best thing they did not know they were the deciding point and the joy on their face was priceless. Results are as follows:

This past weekend the girls tennis team play in a round robin tournament where they won one match and lost two. In the first round we went up against Roseville who is 10th ranked team in the state. We lost 6-1, winning at 1st doubles. 3rd doubles lost in 3 sets and 2nd doubles had a very competitive match. In the second round we beat Rogers 4-3 with Grace Hannula sealing up the victory at 2nd singles. Kayltyn Syverson won her 3rd straight match at 4th singles. In the last match of the day we lost to Totino Grace 4-3 with it coming to 1st doubles losing in the super tiebreaker. Ellen in what I thought played her best match of the season at 1st singles. On Tuesday we lost to Elk River 7-0. The big difference with our team and the top teams in our conference they are more consistent. Results are as follows:

Maddie played a solid match at 3rd singles. First doubles kept attacking against their opponents in a straight set victory. All of the doubles played much better in their second set and if we get them to play that way right off of the start we will win a few more matches. Results are as follows:

Tennis results for last week. Last week was quite a busy week for the lady cardinals tennis team. We started the week out by going against Blaine which we lost 7-0 but again on paper we had quite a few matches that were pretty close. It came down to our players needing to close out the points. We have the tendency to set the points up great in singles and doubles but we miss the next shot. All spots were very competitive even the score doesn't show this. On Thursday we beat Irondale which we had two players getting their first varsity win at 3rd doubles with Megan Spielbauer and Anna Samit. They lost their first set and made some adjustments won the next 2 sets. This past weekend we lost 3 matches all with the same score at 6-1. Two of the teams we played are currently ranked in the top 10 in the state in class A, Osakis and Crookston. Again same situation occurred with quite a few matches close just not closing out in the end. We competed hard all day long and once we play out our points a little smarter we will do good. It has been great watching Maddie Westra play singles, she is a very smart singles player and has helped out in this spot by winning. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapdis 0 Blaine 7

The tennis finished out the week loosing two matches to Maple Grove and Anoka. In Maple Grove we lost 6-1 which is one of the toughest teams in the conference as well as in the section. Singles played pretty good in their losses. Emma and Carly continued their winning ways at 2nd doubles. Anna Samit and Megan Spielbauer played really good in their first varsity match at 3rd doubles. In the Anoka match we lost 6-1 which if our players follow the process we have in place they will start wining more matches in their perspective spots. Anna played great again today at 3rd doubles. The singles played out extremely good even though the score does not show this there were a lot of deuce games. Next week we have two more conference matches followed by tournament in Alexandria.

This past weekend the girls tennis team lost all 3 matches in their invitational. Having quite a few younger players in the lineup with not much varsity experience it will be a learning year for some of them. In the first round match we lost to Cretin 4-3.

Last week we had a match against Irondale and as the match was going we won 5 of 7 first sets in 5 positions. The rain came and we did not get to finish the match. On the next day we played against Park Center for the second time this year. It was our cross over match since we are in two divisions. Earlier in the year we played them so it would be interested to see how we would do. We won 7-0 and we only gave up 11 games where earlier in the year Park Center won 22 games.

The girls tennis team finished out the week 1-1. On Tuesday they lost to Elk River 7-0. The Elks were as strong as I thought they would be. We lost every match in straight sets. At second doubles Helen Nelson and Carly playing their first doubles match together lost 7-6, 6-4 in what was a very entertaining match. Jessica Emmans and Olivia Farley played also very well at 3rd doubles. On Thursday the lady cardinals played against Andover and won 4-3. I knew going into the match it would be tough not having Helen Nelson who was home sick. Elen Everhart won in 3 sets and probably the best I have seen all year came at 4th singles. Grace Hannula was down 0-3 in the first set and 1-4 the second. She came back to win 6-3, 6-4 as she continues to learn how to play out points she will be solid contributor to our team in the next 4 years. The team overall record is 9-7. Results are as follows:

Results from tennis matches from last week. On Thursday of last week the Lady Cardinals played against Osseo. As the match was going rain came and we had to finish the match on Friday. Going into the match we were ahead in each spot and once the match was complete we beat Osseo 7-0. On Ssaturday we had a round robin tournament against Roseville, Rogers and Totino Grace. In the first match we played Roseville which was going to be a tough match. They have a solid core of young players in their singles lineup. So I was hoping we could win a spot their and sweep the doubles. We ended up sweeping the doubles but couldn't get a singles point. In the Rogers match which was going to be tough match since they are in our section it was important to win this. We ended up wining 3 points in the super tiebreaker to give us the 4-3 win. The last match of the day we played Totinto Grace and won 5-2. On the day everybody won at least one match with Maddi Westra wining all 3 matches.

The Coon Rapids girls tennis team played 2 matches in the last 2 days against St. Francis and Centennial. We beat St. Francis 4-3 and loosing to Centennial 6-1. Some positive notes out of the two matches is Maddi Giorgi is playing some good tennis at 1st singles as well as our first doubles of Nelson and Everhart. I really think we are starting to play some better tennis. If we continue to work in practice in what we are doing in our doubles and having a plan in what we are doing in our singles game we should do fine. Our overall record is 5-5 with Osseo on Thursdayand a tournament on Saturday. Results are as follows:

Last Wednesday the Lady Cardinals tennis team lost close match to Blaine 4-3. In 3 of our singles we had extremely close first sets and lost the second sets more one sided. I am hoping that our players believe that if there is a close set they can play against their opponent. Mya and Maddie lost first set at firs doubles and came back to win in straight sets. On Thursday we beat Park Center 7-0. In playing their first varsity match Ava Lovik (senior) and Emma Newton (freshman) won their first varsity match. Singles played pretty good all across the lineup. This week we play St. Francis, Centennial, Osseo and hosting a round robin tournament with Roseville, Rogers and Totino Grace.

On wednesday the girls tennis played Spring Lake Park at their courts and beat them 5-2, brining their record to 3-2. Every match went in straight sets. On Thursday we played against Anoka which I knew would be a tough match. We lost 6-1, with our players competing hard. Emily Everhart played a great match beating her opponent in straight sets. I'm hoping she will believe that she can play at that position. At this point of the season there are a few items we need to work on.

Yesterday the Coon Rapids Cardinals beat Cretin Derham in an exciting match at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. In the match Grace Hannula was moved to 3rd doubles with Jordan Keller. During their match they were hitting ball pretty good but their movement put them in bad positions during the points resulting in loosing their first set 6-0. Prior to the second set I told them to both play back on their serve and when we were serving. I told them imagine you are both playing singles but with each other, well they ended up wining the second set 6-2. The super tiebreaker we won 10-4 giving Grace her first varsity win. Maddie Giorgi lost in 3 and Maddie Westra and Mya won in 3. In fact prior to Maddie and Mya starting their 3rd I told them that the match was tied and that if they win we win. Maddie said "I didn't want to know but they ended up wining 12-10 to secure a win for the cardinals. Results are as follows:
1st Singles Maddi Giorgi lost 6-7, 6-1, 10-0

To play a tough match in our first match of the season was tough for our players. We won at 1st and second doubles. Both of these matches we won in 3 sets. Our singles played hard but lost in straight sets in each of their matches. Having our round robin tournament rained out put us at a disadvantage not know what we needed to work when playing against other schools. Results are as follows:

On Wednesday the lady cardinals played their first round of sections at the Bob Pivec courts against Anoka. Earlier in the year we beat them 6-1 but there were several points that went three sets. Today are captains led by example wining at all of their spots to get us the 4 points that were needed. Alii Bauer and Maddi Giorgi won in convincing fashion in straight sets. Helen Nelson won in 3 sets with the 3rd set being 6-0. First doubles beat the Anoka team in close match 7-5, 7-5. In doing so they beat the 8th seeded team in individuals in the doubles tournament. I hope the Emily and Karly realize they are a good team and have the potential to go far in sections. We will next play Delano who is the 1 seed in our section.

Delano has only lost once during the season. In our first match of the day we took on Roseville. In our matches my intention was not to play all of our singles in 3 matches in the singles lineup. We had Maddi at 1st singles and Karly Westra playing 2nd singles in her first singles match of the year. Alli Bauer and Helen Nelson played at 1st doubles.

In the last match of the day we played Alexandria which I knew was going to be a tough match. I learned a lesson to today that I need to manage our players a little better in regards to not keeping some of our players in singles for 3 matches so I do not where them out. Also Helen and Karly received a great compliment from a gentlemen who has been running the girls and boys state tennis tournament for in the excess of 25 years. He told them that when they were down 5-2 in their second set he saw it in their eyes that they knew they were going to win. He was watching them when I was talking to them on the change over. If our girls would believe in their ability even when they are loosing, knowing they still can compete at a high level and maybe even win we will continue to have a great season. Helen, Maddi and Karly won all of their matches. We lost to Alexandria 5-2 bringing our record to 6-5. Results are as follows:

The lady Cardinals played Anoka on September 3rd at the Bob Pivec courts in what was one of the hottest days that we have had a match. In addition, Allison Bauer was gone in New York watching some tennis at the US Open improving her game. The lady Cardinals won 6-1 in what was a close score. We won 3 matches in 3 sets with Maddi Giorgi and Carly Nelson showing a lot of grit. At the start of her 3 set I talked to her and I asked to make a couple of changes and to show her opponent that she is the best player on the court. Well Maddi certainly did that by winning 6-0 in the 3rd. Carly lost her 1st set 6-2 at 4th singles and I told her to take her approach shots towards out of the middle and follow the ball into the court. Carly was volleying and taking her overheads so good she won the next 2 sets. Olivia Farley at 2nd doubles won her 1st match at 2nd doubles and it looks like Devin and Olivia have a good thing going on at this position. Results are as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------
On Thursday the girls tennis team lost to Maple Grove 5-2 in which it was a very close match. Most of our points were extremely close. Hopefully as we get into the main part of our season they will believe in there abilities and put a plan into their match. Helen Nelson is perfect example of what she needed to do in her match. She realized during her match the she needed to attack her opponents backhand and get to the net. In our doubles we need to anticipate once our opponents hit the ball and hit our first volley to the person who is nearest to the net. Our overall record is 2-3 with Spring Lake Park next Tuesday. Results are as follows:
1st Singles Allison Bauer lost 6-1, 7-5
2nd Singles Maddi Giorgi lost 6-4, 6-3

Today the girls tennis team finished their individual sections with some exciting results. In singles Karly Westra played the number 3 singles players from Champlin Park and lost 6-1, 6-3 in which Karly made some changes in her game. Her second set turned out much better than her first. Allison Bauer won her first round match against player she lost to earlier in team sections. In her second round match as with what Karly did Alli, started attacking the net which helped her in the second set. Alli lost 7-6 in the second but I think she knows she can play all sorts of styles in her game. Tina and Hannah lost to the 4th seed Mounds view Mustangs 6-3, 6-3. They played very tough but lost some key points which led to their defeat. Heidi and Andrea ended up winning the doubles sections with out loosing a set during the whole tournament. The state individual tournament starts next Thursday at 10:00am at the Baseline Tennis Center at the University of Minnesota. On the attachment is the link for Individual tennis tournament.

The girls tennis season lost last night in the section finals to the 9th ranked team Mounds View 6-1 in which was a much closer match than the score reflects. The match started out where most of the matches the Mustangs were up 3-0 or 2-1. Coach Hirte and I started talking to the players after the first 3 games have been played. We understood that players might be nervous but we told them once you start moving your feet the games will start getting closer, sure enough they did. The lady Cardinals made the match very tight and each position we pushed the Mustangs. To have a record of 21-6 and last year 21-4 the girls tennis players are doing something special here at Coon Rapids. 42- 10 in 2 years share of conference title last year and make it to the section finals, WOW. Each spot competed hard and represented Coon Rapids at a high level. I am so proud and honored to coach these young ladies. We now are entering into the Individual regions starting next Monday lets see if we can get anybody through to the state tournament. Results from match are as follows:

The girls tennis team ended the regular season by beating Blaine today at the Bob Pivec courts 5-2. Playing a tough tennis team leading into sections made me a little worried. I put a challenge to the players to hopefully use this as a spring board going into section play. We were missing Tina, so we moved some players around at 2nd and 3rd doubles. Ending the regular season at 18-5 with all of the players we graduated from last years team exceeded my expectations on how good we would do this year. Tomorrow we play Fridley at home and if we should win we play on Thursday. Results are as follows:

Boy Helen took the match to her opponent. Tina and Karly played a slow first set and also raised their level of play in the preceding sets. Alli had another tough match.

Mr. Pivec you would of been proud how she was moving the ball around on the court. Third doubles had a very close match wining their first set in a tiebreaker 14-12, which I do not remember the last time I saw a match like that.

Girls Tennis team lost to Maple Grove today 4-3. Going into the match I knew it was going to be tough due to how their players played out points last year. Their singles hit short balls to bring opponents in than lob. We needed to be patient and their doubles 1 is up and 1 is back, we need to be able to understand this formation. We will work on this more, results are as follows:
1st Singles Allison Bauer lost 3-6, 0-6
2nd Singles Hannah Naegele lost 6-7, 0-6
3rd Singles Heidi Hannula won 4-6, 6-2, 10-7

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today the girls tennis team played 2 matches at the Bob Pivec tennis courts. In the first match we played Princeton which I knew it would be a tough match. Going into the match I found out that Hedi Hannula was cleared from her carpal tunnel surgery. This morning I had Hedi come to the courts to see how she was hitting the balls and after a hour I determined she was more than effective in our lineup. We lost to Princeton 6-1 with Heidi and Karly wining at 2nd doubles. Andrea Rehm lost a close match at 4th singles and 1st doubles lost in a super tibebreaker. After Princeton we played Totino Grace in our first conference match of the season beating the eagles 7-0. We won four points in 3 sets. 3 of the matches were pretty much one sided. Emily Fish won her first varsity match at 3rd doubles, Maddi G won in 3 sets and after being frustrated with her level of play in the 1st set and she sure stepped it up in the other 2 sets. Karly W played at 1st doubles showing that she belongs. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapids 1 Princeton 6
1st Singles Hannah Naegele Princeton 6-4, 6-1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today the girls tennis team played in their first matches of the season with a 2-1 record. Having Hedi Hannula not in the lineup recovering from carpal tunnel surgery on her wrist. Heidi made it to the state tennis tourney so we know her teammates are going to have to step up, which they did today. In the first match we played Hibbing where won 7-0, with Hannah Naegele stepped playing first singles and won in straight sets. Sarah McDonald and Julie Mortensen won in straight sets at second doubles and Bailey Ryan won her first varsity match at 3rd doubles with Karly Westra. In our next match we played Cretin where we won 5-2 with a couple of exciting matches. Karly Westra won in 3 sets playing at 3rd singles. Ally Bisset playing her first varsity match won in dramtic fashion at 4th singles. Ally was down 4-9 in the super tiebreaker 4-9 and winning 7 straight points taking the match 11-9 in the 3rd set. In addition, Ally played this same player earlier in the day and lost. In our last match we played Rogers a team in our section where we lost 5-2. Highlight was Ally Bauer winning in 3 sets at 1st singles. This win will give us a boost in two ways, that Ally can hit with anyone and will give us flexability in our lineup. Alli Bauer and Karly won all three matches today. Everybody that stayed with Varsity played at least one match and there is no doubt Emily and Lynn H will get their varsity wins this year. On Tuesday the cardinals play Princeton and Totino Grace following with Maple Grove on Thursday. Results are as follows:

The girls tennis team beat Armstrong at the Bob Pivec tennis courts today 5-2. I knew going into the match it was going to be tough and as the match went along it was a tight match. Highlights for me was how the doubles kept attacking the net and first doubles played extremely well today. Also, Maddi Giorgi won her first varsity match today. You could tell at first she was a little nervous but as the match went along she became more comfortable. Maddi is more fond at playing at the baseline but she did great and Tina showed her leadership today. The cardinals play Maple Grove which will be a very tough match at the Bob Pivec courts. If the lady cards can keep the ball on the court we will be competitive with Maple Grove.

First doubles follwed Alli's lead by loosing the first set and winning the next two. Next week the Cardinals play Armstrong at the Bob Pivec courts and than finish out the regular season with Maple Grove. Both matches will be tough matches for the Lady Cardinals.

The duo attacked the return of serve and moved well together going to the net. The Cardinals next play host to Anoka Tornadoes which will be a tough match.

The Coon Rapids girls tennis team played in their invite today against Roseville, White Bear Lake and St. Paul Central. In the first round Coon Rapids was going against Roseville who last year beat us in a close match. The highlight was first doubles winning their match after loosing the first match. The second match I moved Heidi and Emily into doubles which strengthen our doubles but put the challenge to our singles for someone to win a point. Rosie Grainger played what I thought was her best match of the season to win the 4th point for the Cardinals. Lauren and Helen won their 2nd match in a row in the super tie breaker. The last match Coon Rapids won all 7 points. Not loosing a match today was Lauren and Helen in doubles, Emily and Heidi doubles/singles and the combo platter of Tina/Shelby and Karly. With the 3 wins today we continue against Totino Grace, Park Center and Anoka which will all be tough matches. Every time we play these schools the coaches always have their players bring their A game. Our overall record is 14-3 Results are as follows:

The girls tennis team went to Alexandria this past weekend and played in a round robin tournament against Crookston, Sauk Centre and Alexandria. The format of the matches were to play the sets in a no add scoring format and if sets were split the 3rd set was a 7 point tiebreaker. With the temperature extremely hot I was going into the matches with 11 players and I knew I was going to have to rotate players around. Several highlights for me was having every player win at least once. Allison Bauer won all 3 of her matches in addition each match was in singles. Emily Bauer won her 3rd match in 3 sets with each one being in tiebreakers. It was one of her strongest matches of the season. Heidi Hannula won the deciding point when we had 1st and 2nd singles playing when we needed 1 more point to close out the match. After the weekend was over the Cardinals were at 9-2 for a overall record. JV won all of their matches also. Results are as follows:

Today Cardinals beat Andover Huskies 5-2 in what was a much closer score than the match showed. As a coach I remember from Mr. Pivec that any time your players do better as the match goes along it is a good day. Emily at first played one of the top players in the state and probably played her best match of the year, especially after she was at the open this past weekend watching some top players in the world. 1st doubles played a very good team and lost the 1st set 6-0 and lost 2nd set 6-4 (that is stepping it up in play). As 4th singles and 2nd doubles were playing the Cardinals were up 3-2. Allison Bauer lost 1st set 2-6 and as she was going in the second made a few suggestions in her game and she ended up 7-5, 6-2 to close out the match for the Cardinals. 2nd doubles won 1st set 6-4, and than lost 7-5 second set. Prior to start of the third set I told our players to pick a spot on returns and move to the ball as they are closing in the net which they won 6-3. Ladies outstanding job today and lets go after Blaine tomorrow it will be a tough match. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapids 5 Andover 2
1st Singles Emily Bauer 1-6, 2-6
2nd Singles Heidi Hannula 6-2, 6-1

The Coon Rapids tennis team played their first NWSC tennis match at Champlin Park yesterday. Going into match we knew it was going to be a tough match. Last year the Rebels beat the Cardinals twice so we hoping to bring our A game for the match. One of the bright spots in the match was first doubles where Lauren Beckman and Helen Nelson played first doubles. This was Helen's first time playing in this spot as a 9th grader and it was great watching her handling the pressure and with Lauren as her partner and experience I am sure this helped her through the match. At 3rd doubles Tin M and Shelby S played their second time together in doubles. It was great seeing them working much better during the points now they how what each other does on the court. Cardinals next matches are next week against Andover at Bob Pivec Courts (9/3), at Blaine (9/4) and home against Irondale (9/5). Next weekend the Cardinals will travel to Alexandria for a round robin tourney with JV and Varsity. Results are as follows:
Coon Rapids 6 Champlin Park 1
1st Singles Heidi Hannula 6-2, 6-2
2nd Singles Emily Bauer 6-2, 6-2
3rd Singles Rosie Grainger 6-3, 6-4

The Coon Rapids tennis team beat Rogers 4-3 in closely tight match. The match came down to Karly Westra who won at 4th singles. During the first set I had some uncertainty about how some of our points were going so I asked Karly if she liked pressure and Karly said yes. Then she realized what she said and then rebuked this statement which I told her to late. As Karly was playing we lost at 3rd singles in a super tie-breaker in the 3rd set bringing the match to 3-3. Karly ended up wining 7-6, 6-4 bringing Coon Rapids to their 3rd win. Another highlight for me was as Karly was coming off of the court Carly Nelson 7th grader was the first person to congratulate Karly, which is extremely neat to see. Another important part of the match was watching Lauren Beckman use her leadership skills at 3rd doubles with Helen Nelson as they won in straight sets.

1st Singles Emily Bauer lost 2-6, 6-3, 8-10

The Coon Rapids girls tennis season started yesterday at the Bob Pivec courts where the Cardinals hosted Cretin Derham Hall, Spring Lake Park and Hibbing. Going into the matches I kept 12 players who I was going to have each player play twice. My hope was to win all three matches and have each player win at least once. As a team we came with a 2-1 record and having each player win at least once. During the duration of the three matches some important items were noticeable. We have several players who can play both singles and doubles. Another item is that we I think we need to still work on our doubles for more compatible partners. Results are as follows:
We played Cretin first, with having some new players playing their first Varsity match. Helen Nelson (9th) and Karly Westra (10) won their first Varsity matches right out of the gate. I believe these two players with Allison Bauer are the future of Cardinal tennis with the youth. I'm not including the leadership from our Seniors or Juniors.
Coon Rapids 6 Cretin 1
1st Singles Emily Bauer (12) 6-2, 6-0
2nd Singles Heidi Hannula (11) 6-3, 6-3

Helen Nelson (9)
3rd Doubles Karly Westra (10) 6-0, 6-1
Sarah Brinda (12)
In the second match we played Spring Lake Park which is team that is in our section. In the match there were some tough points that I thought we would win that we came up on the short end. With some work I believe we can turn this around into positive results. As a doubles team we need to close in our volleys and hit these shots to the right spot. In singles we need to hit to our opponents weak spot in the court.
Coon Rapids 2 Spring Lake Park 5
1st Singles Emily Bauer (12) 3-6, 1-6

Shelby Swoope (12)
Last match of the day I decided to give some players rest and move some of our top players into doubles. The highlight was watching Rosie Grainger come from down 1-4 to win 6-4, 6-0. Also, Shelby Swoope won her first varsity match as a Senior. Shelby worked extremely hard this past summer, it goes to show how hard work pays off. Our next match is on Tuesday against Rogers at home.

Detailed Results
Tennis results from last week saw the Cardinals loose two very tight matches to Armstrong and Maple Grove. In the Armstrong match the cardinals lost 4-3 in what was a very tight match. In the match we were without two of our top players due to illness. Heidi Hannula was moved to 3rd singles and continued her winning ways by winning in straight sets. At 3rd doubles we played Amber Harris and Jane Hannula together figuring with their speed they should be able to run down any ball which they did. Andrea and Ally won in 3 sets by taking control of the match winning the 2 and 3 set in a resounding manner. Our overall record is 8-11 with the results as follows:
1st Singles Emily Bauer lost 6-0, 6-0
2nd Singles Lauren Beckman lost 6-0, 6-0
3rd Singles Heidi Hannula won 6-4, 6-3

Amber Harris
Two days after playing Armstrong we than traveled to Maple Grove which I knew going into the match it would be close. The Cardinals ended up losing 4-3 making it the 5th match we lost in this kind of manner. Going into the match we moved Heidi to 2nd singles not knowing if she could compete here and she won 6-1, 6-2 bringing her singles record undefeated. Hannah Naegele came back from a week of being sick to win in straight sets. At one point we were up 3-2 in match score leaving up to 1st singles or 1st doubles to secure the 4th point. We came up a little short but I am hoping we will us these close losses as what items we need to do to make a run in the section playoffs. The seeding meeting is tonight and we start section play on Thursday depending on the weather conditions. We have one non-conference match left on Wednesday against Chisago Lakes at the Bob Pivec courts. Our record is 8-11 with results as follows:

Coon Rapids beat Anoka today 6-1 at the Anoka tennis courts. Going into the match we were down Mady and Hannah. I knew going into the match it was going to be tight, especially since they beat Park Center 5-2. Highlight have the match was when second doubles made a change in the second set when they were down 2-1. They ended up winning 6-4, 6-0 in the other two sets. Also, Tina McManus ended up winning in three sets after losing the first set, she battled hard and in the 2nd and 3rd sets was moving her opponent around.

In the Bob Pivec Invitational Coon Rapids started out the Round Robin by playing Roseville in what proved to be another close match for the Cardinals. We knew it would be tough matches without Heidi Hannula who was at a church retreat. Highlights with our match started out at 1st singles where Emily Bauer beat her opponent for the first time through many losses during the summer tournaments. It was her second loss of the season.

It seems a different player steps up and has a great match each time CR plays. This time it was Hannah Naegele. Playing Amanda Weiss, a dangerous strong player, Hannah had her best match of the season and gave the Cardinals the 4th point to secure the match. Again strong doubles play allows CR to be in the position to win, but one of the singles players have to step up and win a tough one if the team is going to win. A great team victory! On to Elk River
