The term in tennis is “double bagels.” No, it’s not what you order with cheese strata and coffee during Breakfast at Wimbledon. It’s when a singles player wins two consecutive sets 6-0 in a singles match.
On Tuesday, Cedar Ridge had no less than four players take double bagel wins over crosstown rival Orange.
#1 singles player Ivy Garner, sophomore Olivia Ward, senior Kate Millner and sophomore Brianna Cellini all earned 6-0, 6-0 wins as the Red Wolves defeated the Panthers 9-0 at Panther Tennis Courts. At #4 singles, Nora Sauers won her match 6-1, 6-2, while Maddy Werner captured the most competitive battle of the day, earning a 6-3, 6-2 victory.
Red Wolves Coach Lennie Corbett played some reserves in doubles, pairing Hannah Johnson with Cellini at #2 for an 8-2 victory. Rachel Quade played her first match of the year, teaming with Natalie Marochak for an 8-3 win at #3 doubles. Garner and Ward swept #1 doubles 8-0 to make quick work of the Panthers, who were coming off its first win of the season against Hillside the previous Wednesday.
Cedar Ridge is now 3-2, 2-1 in the Big 8. They host Northern Durham on Thursday in Hillsborough. Orange looks to bounce back with a home match against Northwood on Thursday.
