Coach Ryun Ferrell was disappointed not to get the younger lineup he brought additional action. Freshman Liv Allely (freshman, Council Bluffs, Lewis Central HS) and junior Madison Price (junior, Ankeny, Centennial HS) won at No. 3 doubles 7-6 (6-3).
           
"We looked good and I was happy with what I was seeing," he said. "We had chances at No. 1 doubles and could have won the doubles point.
