The Knights face a must-win situation Friday when they travel to the Hidden Valley Lake courts to play the conference leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville\u2019s two wins came in first singles where Maddy Borghesani won 6-2, 6-1, and in third singles where Riley Lopez rallied for a 4-6, 6-2, 7-2 victory (a tiebreaker was played in lieu of a third set because of time constraints).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaddy played one of her strongest matches of the season,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Andy Dobusch said. \u201cGreat all-around match for her. She\u2019s tough to beat when she\u2019s firing on all cylinders and today was one of those days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Dobusch on the Lopez victory, \u201cRiley looked good today, probably the best I\u2019ve seen him play. He was smart and steady. The match wasn\u2019t as close as the score made it seem. Riley probably shouldn\u2019t have lost the first set, but he took control in the second set and was never threatened in the tiebreaker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia Hommer fell 6-1, 6-1 in second singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was happy how well Olivia played considering her limited singles experience,\u201d Dobusch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia Raabe and Olivia Bushey dropped a hard-fought 6-4, 7-5 decision in first doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis match could have gone either way,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cOlivia Raabe was hitting bomb serves and Olivia Bushey was playing strong at the net. I think we win this match six or seven times out of 10, unfortunately today wasn\u2019t one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace Peterson and Gemma Tanti fell 6-1, 6-0 in second doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust too many unforced errors and they couldn\u2019t have the serve of one of their opponents. There were flashes of good play and some great shots, we just have to work on consistency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelseyville needs a win Friday against Middletown to stay in title contention Lake County Sports on Facebook MENDOCINO &gt;&gt; Kelseyville\u2019s title chances in the Coastal Mountain Conference North took a hit Tuesday as the Knights fell 3-2 to the Mendocino Cardinals in Mendocino.
