By Lon Austin On Monday Erin Crofcheck qualified for the state tennis tournament by reaching the semifinals of the singles bracket. On Tuesday, a tired Crofcheck lost twice to finish in fourth place at the IMC tournament. She will participate at the state championship beginning Thursday at the Portland Tennis Center. "She gave it a valiant effort," said Head Coach Lloyd Rodgers. "She put all her effort out on Monday, which she needed to do. She just dug down and ground it out." Also doing well at the district tournament were number one doubles team Krissi Kemper and Katie Leavitt who finished in sixth place after falling in the quarterfinals on Monday, then dropping a competitive match for fifth place on Tuesday. The Cowgirls number two doubles team of Maggie Trinchieri and Cassie Low continued to rack up wins as they went 4-1 at the district tournament to win the consolation bracket of the tournament. "Low and Trinchieri don't get to go to state, but they almost knocked off the number four seed right off the bat, and they won the rest of their matches," said Rodgers. Other Cowgirls who were still alive on Tuesday were singles player Natalie Rich and the doubles team of Chelsea Finnerin and Kristi Robinson. They were both eliminated in the second consolation round on Tuesday. "We did about as well as we could do," Rodgers said. "Everyone played hard," Hermiston won the team title at the district tournament, while the Cowgirls finished in the middle of the pack. As of press time team scores were still unavailable. |
