All three senior singles players won in straight sets as the Bellmont Braves picked up a nice win in NE8 play, 4-1 Thursday.
Playing just a few days away from the sectional draw, the team continues to tinker with the lineup, but the Braves look up to the task of defending their sectional title next week in Bluffton.
Emma Fuelling, Lillian Jin and Lilyana Suarez were back to their normal spots in singles play, while Averie Coats and Ella Ross continued their undefeated season with a straight-set victory.
Bellmont’s season record stands at 8-6 after the win over the Barons.
The Braves will wrap up their regular season Friday night at Kreager Park against Blackhawk Christian.
