It was a different twist on a match.
Playing in Seattle Wednesday against The Bush School, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team battled to a 3-3 tie in a bout comprised of mini-rumbles.
The host Blazers opted to play cut-down sets to three points, win by one, as opposed to the normal play to six, win by two.
Still, that gave Coupeville a chance to get court time, so valuable as new coaches Tim Stelling and Starla Seal guide a small squad in need of experience.
Next up for the Wolves, who are on a season-long road trip as new courts are built at CHS, is a trek to Friday Harbor this Friday, April 26.
Wednesday’s results:
1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Siobhan O’Malley 3-2, 3-0
2nd Singles — Skylar Parker lost to Vivienne Hunter 3-2, 3-2
1st Doubles — Brynn Parker/Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Trianna Luu/Kylee Joh 3-2, 3-0
