The recent success of Mount Si’s girls tennis team came to an end last week with a pair of losses against quality opposition.

The Wildcats only took one match each against Skyline last Thursday and Interlake last Friday. The winner last Thursday for the Wildcats was in singles, as Kaitlyn Usselman continued her strong play as of late. Usselman fell in the first set against the Spartans’ Kelly Boudwin 1-6, but the Mount Si player rallied in a big way in sets two and three, taking both sets 6-0, 6-0 to take the match. Last Friday’s winner against the Saints was in doubles, as Wildcats Lindsay Masters and Trina Eck fought off a solid effort from Claire Covner and Niyati Raghavan of Interlake to grab that match 6-4, 6-4.

Jodie Magnuson and Bailey Barnard each had solid efforts against the Spartans in defeat; Magnuson fell to Kristin Park 1-6, 6-7 (second set tiebreak 1-7) and Barnard went down to Laura Parson 2-6, 5-7. Barnard also gave a good effort against her Interlake opponent, falling to Chelsea Bucklin 5-7, 1-6.

Mount Si hosts Issaquah Thursday for Senior Day at 3:45 p.m. at the tennis courts across the street from the high school along Meadowbrook Way.
