Magi tennis sweeps Mandan 9-0

The Minot High School boys tennis team went 9-0 in a West Region match against the Mandan Braves at the Cameron Indoor Tennis Center on Saturday. The win, which brings the Magi to 5-7 (2-1 WDA), marks a hopeful turnaround from last week’s 6-3 loss against Bismarck Legacy.

“We continue to improve in small areas,” MHS head coach Scott DeLorme said. “(We are) hoping this momentum can carry over the final few weeks of the year.”

Starting out slow with doubles, Minot managed to work its way out of it to win all three matches with Zach Diehl and Zach Renaud swinging a 6-3, 6-1 victory in the No. 2 spot.

“The momentum we were able to gain late in the doubles carried over into the singles as we were able to sweep the singles as well,” said DeLorme.

Jack Wolsky earned a 6-1, 6-0 victory over his opponent in the No. 3 singles spot, while Ridge Jaeger (No. 2 singles) and Hunter Rice (No. 4 singles) also zeroed out their opponents’ second sets, with final victories of 6-2, 6-0 and 6-3, 6-0 respectively.

Minot’s next match is an away match scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, at Bismarck Century. The Magi’s last match against Century led to a 3-2 win over the Bismarck team.
