Panthers pick up 1st win

MT. PLEASANT — The Mt. Pleasant girls tennis team was back at East Lake Park on Monday night, facing off with West Burlington/Notre Dame/Danville in a non-conference battle.

The Panthers had the win clinched before the first ball was hit, as Notre Dame had just three players, meaning the Nikes had could only get a maximum of four wins out of the nine scheduled contests.

Two Panthers picked up victories in singles competition. Mia Gray won the No. 2 singles match 8-3 over WB/ND/Danville’s Chloee Anderson, and Katana Phangchanthong defeated Lacie Felkins 8-2.

Lila Cook played a tough No. 1 singles match against WB/NB/Danville’s Paige Kramer. Kramer pulled it out 9-7.

In doubles, the only team that competed was the No. 1 team of Cook and Bella Dodds. The Panthers’ top duo defeated Anderson and Felkins 8-2.
