Freshmen Lila Ringger and Jillian Brotherton dropped the opening set of their varsity doubles match 6-2 in Berne Thursday, then stormed back to take the final two sets in the deciding match of a tense rivalry between Adams Central and South Adams.
The victory at No. 2 doubles gave the Jets a sweep of the doubles matches after seniors Macy McClure and Alexa Brotherton won quickly.
The Jets’ No. 1, Melanie Bertsch, won 7-5 in the first set against Ava Kinsey, then turned it up a notch and won 6-1 for the other AC point.
Both of South Adams’ victories came in three sets in singles play.
Adams Central will host Northfield Friday in a non-conference match.
