KELSEYVILLE >> Even without two of their top singles players in the lineup, the Kelseyville Knights swept all five matches in straight sets, beating the Willits Wolverines 5-0 in Coastal Mountain Conference North tennis action Friday in Kelseyville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA nice, stress-free win,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Andy Dobusch said. \u201cI was able to shift the lineup and have two of my top seniors take the match off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling in for Maddy Borghesani in first singles was Olivia Bushey, who beat Salisa Leon 6-4, 6-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was a nice win against a quality opponent, probably her best win of the season,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cHer serves kept her in the match an provided all the advantage she needed to get the win. She also had a good day at the net.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling in for Riley Lopez in second singles was Olivia Raabe, who beat Karina Velazco 6-0, 7-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOlivia came out hot and decisively won the first set,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cThe second set was a different story. It was back and forth the entire set. Karina found some shots that gave Liv trouble and she leaned on those shots to make a match of it. Olivia closed out the set with a strong service game. I\u2019m pretty confident when Liv is serving and it came through in the clutch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace Peterson defeated Lissbeth Hernandez 6-0, 6-1 in third singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrace is playing some solid tennis at this point in the season,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cShe\u2019s come on strong lately. She\u2019s been moving extremely well, very quick. Now her ground strokes, serves and volleys are catching up to her footwork. She\u2019s turned a corner and is playing at a different level than the beginning of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooklyn Young and Gemma Tanti beat Sofia Vaccaro and Alieah Barragan 6-1, 6-3 in first doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrooklyn and Gemma played well together and cruised in their win,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cWe were just more polished and consistent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In second doubles, Jesse Barnett and Italian foreign exchange Manny Ingrassia, who is new to the team, defeated April Villegas and Alisson Raya 6-2, 6-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cManny is a great addition to the team,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cIt\u2019s fun to watch him learn a new sport and get these experiences. While he\u2019s new to the game, he and Jesse played well enough to get the victory. They were both bigger and overall more athletic than their competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville, now 5-2 in the conference standings, is off next week for spring break. The Knights return to action Tuesday, April 14 at Mendocino.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
