Yellowjackets Handle Simpson, 9-0

ALBERT LEA, Minn. – Yellowjacket tennis coach CeeJay Schaffner made a late addition to his women's tennis schedule this week, putting Simpson College on the schedule for Saturday. The Yellowjackets were already in southern Minnesota for a pair of matches Sunday, so the addition of the Simpson match gives the Yellowjackets another day of competition prior to their trip to Florida.
 
The addition to the schedule was a good one, as the Yellowjackets rolled past the Storm 9-0 at Albert Lea (Minn.) High School Saturday afternoon.
 
With the win, the Yellowjackets (5-5, 0-0 UMAC) have now won two matches in a row and brought their record back to the .500 mark.
 
The Yellowjackets set the tone early, sweeping all three doubles matches, with the most convincing win coming courtesy of Claudia Curtis (Lake Mills, Wis./Lake Mills) and Brooke Wilfong (St. Cloud, Minn./St. Cloud Tech), who got the win at No. 3 doubles, 8-0.
 
In singles play the Yellowjackets won all six matches in straight sets, with Simpson putting up the biggest fight at No. 1 singles. There, Andreina Tejada (Quito, Ecuador/Isaac Newton) eked out a 7-5 win in the first set before rolling to a 6-1 win in the second set to seal the match.
 
Match Notes
  • Tejada teamed up with Maya Haupt (Nuertingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg/Hoelderlin Gymnasium Nuertingen) at No. 1 doubles to earn an 8-5 win. They're now 3-3 on the year in doubles play.
  • Kate Jonas (Annandale, Minn./Annandale) and Stella Harris (Negaunee, Mich./Negaunee) needed only 35 minutes to get the win at No. 2 doubles, 8-4 over Simpson's duo of Savanna Walls and Korynna Olson.
  • Wilfong was laser sharp Saturday. Not only did she get a shutout win at No. 3 doubles, but she was perfect at No. 6 singles, winning her match in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0.
  • At. No. 5 singles Jessi Kukowski (Duluth, Minn./Hermantown) was impressive, rolling 6-1, 6-2.
  • Haupt won 6-2, 6-4 at No. 2 singles, while Curtis got the win at No. 3 singles, 6-1, 6-3.
  • Giulia Araujo De Barros (Curitiba, Brazil/Colegio Sabre) picked up another win at No. 4 singles, 6-2, 6-1.
  • Tejada, Haupt and Wilfong each earned their sixth wins of the season in singles play.
The Yellowjackets will play a pair of matches Sunday. In the morning they will take on UW-Eau Claire, followed by an afternoon tilt against Ripon. Both matches will be played at the Owatonna Indoor Tennis Complex.
