DECATUR – Bellmont made a statement in their 4-1 win against Adams Central at home in front of a pretty large crowd of tennis fans Monday, building momentum into a busy week what includes two more NE8 matches and an invitational at the beautiful DeKalb tennis complex Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature match of the night was at No. 1 singles, where Olivia Selking was coming off what coach Arnold called her best performance of the year against Luers on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLiv looks much more comfortable and confident in her ground strokes than she did a couple weeks ago, and it has paid dividends on the court.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emy Faurote and Leila Jin also toppled their opponents in straight sets to secure the early varsity victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabelle Ortiz and Marisol Jackson overcame a slow start after losing the first set to win a tight match at No. 1 doubles in three sets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir win was very exciting for them,\u201d noted Arnold, \u201cafter a pair of three-set losses last week, this win was a great confidence builder against a tough AC doubles team of Anna Leyse and Alexa Brotherton. Ortiz and Jackson had a specific goal and strategy during their match and were able to execute it fully until the match was over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomores Alyssa Coffey and Kaelyn Snyder also went the distance in their match, coming up short in 3 sets for the only varsity loss for the home Braves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe score may not show it, but I think Hillary had a really great match tonight against Selking. She challenged her,\u201d noted AC head coach Jessica Disinger.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
