• 0:19
  well throughout the lineup in Thursday's match against host St. Bede at
• 0:23
  the Washington Park courts in Peru. The Bulldogs swept both singles and
• 0:28
  all three doubles matches to earn a 5-0 victory over the Bruins.
• 0:33
  At number one singles, Streeter Senior Audrey Rambula defeated Josie Trujillo six
• 0:38
  two-six one. I felt like I player well today, Arambola said. I
• 0:42
  don't think any aspect was really better than the other. I feel
• 0:46
  like I played an all-around good match and everything seemed on point.
• 0:50
  The Bulldogs No. 2 singles player, Remy Coley, top St. Bede Senior
• 0:54
  Kyra Finlay, 6063. I feel like my first serves were good today,
• 0:59
  and it's something I've been working hard on, said Coley, a junior
• 1:03
  from Woodland High School. I was being aggressive with them, was getting
• 1:07
  them in, and that just gave me more confidence. Despite the loss,
• 1:12
  Finley said not letting bad points affect the next point was part
• 1:15
  of her game she was happy about. I'm actually really happy with
• 1:19
  how I did mentally today, Finlay said. The first set was a
• 1:23
  rough one for sure, but I was able to stay upbeat. The
• 1:26
  second set I played better, and while I didn't win, the fact
• 1:29
  that I stayed strong mentally and showed some fight throughout makes me
• 1:33
  happy. Streeters No. 2 doubles team of Addy Mahan and Violet Hernandez
• 1:37
  defeated St, Bede’s Olivia Ross and Addison Raffiti 61 62. At number
• 1:42
  3 doubles, the Bulldogs, Annalysia Orozco and Kylie Dennis swung past the
• 1:46
  Bruins Matilda Mitchell and Kirsten Williams 6060. At number 1 doubles, Streeter
• 1:52
  Sr. Izzy Mahan and sophomore Harmony Morgan earned a 6-075 victory over
• 1:57
  St. Bede's LC Solomon and Alicia Barreras. Saint Bede was really staying
• 2:03
  in the middle of the court so we were trying to take
• 2:05
  advantage and use the outside lanes, Izzy Mahan said. I feel like
• 2:09
  we
• 2:09
  did a good job with that. We both struggle with a few
• 2:12
  double faults and not covering the lanes as well we can, but
• 2:15
  other than that I thought we played pretty well. Morgan felt the
• 2:19
  duo did a good job of extending points while also making good
• 2:23
  decisions at the net. I thought we did a good job of
• 2:26
  keeping the ball in play, keeping rallies going, Morgan said. I also
• 2:31
  thought we both played well at the net, had good positioning, and
• 2:34
  did a good job of not leaving too much of the court
• 2:37
  open. Streeter is back on the court at home against Mendota on
• 2:41
  Monday, while St. Bede travels to take on Pontiac on Tuesday.
