MANDAN — Entering the West Region Tournament as the top seeded team and defending West Region champions were the Minot High Majettes girls’ tennis team, as they began a busy couple of days in Mandan.

The win for Minot placed them in the semifinals, where they matched up the Century Patriots who took down the host team, Mandan, to open tournament play. With a win in this round, Minot had a chance to secure a state tournament bid.

Continuing their dominance throughout the day, Minot once again pulled off another sweep as they took down Century, 5-0, to earn a spot in the West Region championship and to qualify for the state tournament as a team.
