Heartbreaker for Tiger tennis

Glenwood edged Red Oak 5-4 in a Hawkeye 10 Conference tennis dual at the Montgomery County YMCA in Red Oak Thursday.
The match came down to the final doubles contest of the night between the Tigers’ Jackson Perdue and Damian Goodman and Glenwood’s Dylan Cutshall and Gideon Davis.
Cutshall and Davis pulled out the 8-6 win to secure the slim 5-4 match victory.
“This was a tough loss against an evenly matched Glenwood team,” Rolenc said. “Proud of the way the Tigers competed. Last year, Kaleb Sebeniecher lost to Glenwood’s No. 4, this year he sweeps their No. 1; huge improvement.
“Dillan Rydberg was on junior varsity at this time last year, and he showed huge improvement with a win over Glenwood’s No. 2. We also had really strong performances from all three of our doubles duos.”
Sebeniecher blanked the Rams’ Brennan Anderson 8-0 in No. 1 singles and Rydberg downed Grahm Newberry 8-2 in the No. 2 match.
