Olivia Raabe and Grace Peterson played the first set for the Knights while Brooklyn Young and Gemma Tanti took over in set two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the match in hand, we were able to mix things up a bit and play a couple of different pairings,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cAll four of our players had solid matches. Olivia Raabe\u2019s serve stood out. Grace\u2019s movement and play at the net earned praise from the opposing coach. Brooklyn served well and hit consistent groundstrokes, and Gemma extended numerous rallies with some incredible saves on shots that I thought were for sure winners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In first doubles, Kelseyville\u2019s Riley Lopez and Riley Hanson defeated Yolanda Reyes and Andrew Cook 6-1, 6-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought team Riley would be strong and I was not wrong,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cIt was cruise control the whole way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In singles action, Maddy Borghesani beat Caleb Gomez 6-1, 6-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaleb\u2019s a strong player, but Maddy\u2019s consistent ground strokes and strong serving never let him in the match,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cMaybe her best serving day of the season. She was firing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville\u2019s Olivia Bushey defeated Jane Wood 6-1, 6-2 in second singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s better and better each match,\u201d Dobusch said of Bushey. \u201cLiv\u2019s turning into a well-balanced player. She\u2019s quick and long and has a variety of shots. I thought Jane would be a tough matchup for her, but Liv got out quick and kept pushing. It was a nice win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his first action of the season for Kelseyville, Jesse Barnett beat Owen Torlton 6-4, 6-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday he was quick, smart and played to win, not just crush every shot,\u201d Dobusch said of Barnett. \u201cI was happy how he managed his match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville is now 4-2 in conference play. The Knights are back home Friday to take on Willits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knights notch second conference win in as many days at home against Eagles Lake County Sports on Facebook KELSEYVILLE &gt;&gt; Back-to-back matches and back-to-back wins for the Kelseyville High School tennis team, a 5-0 winner Friday at home against the Cloverdale Eagles in Coastal Mountain Conference North tennis action at the Gard Street courts. \u201cI [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,91,17,90],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6087"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6087"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6088,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6087\/revisions\/6088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
