Dos Pueblos hosted Cate in a three-hour nonleague match Saturday, coming away with a 16-2 victory.
Not all of the scores indicated how tough some of the sets were, however. The Chargers had their share of nail-biters and sets that were decided by tiebreakers. In singles, Dos Pueblos’ No. 3 Hayley Edwards fought for an hour against Cate’s No. 1 Arielle Kubetschek before losing the tiebreaker; both players used a lot of variety in their shots and had long rallies. In dubs, the “Comeback Kids,” Nicoletta Bradley and Oriane Matthys, battled back from 1-4 to win their set in a close tiebreaker.
Everyone contributed to the fine performance Saturday — from players, parents, and friends of both teams.
With the victory, Dos Pueblos improves to 7-1. Cate is now 2-2. The Chargers play a Channel League match Tuesday at San Marcos.
Way to go Chargers!
