Janesville Parker tennis shuts out Sun Prairie

Janesville Parker’s girls tennis team tuned for Thursday’s intra-city showdown against Janesville Craig by blasting Sun Prairie, 7-0, in Big Eight action Tuesday.

The Vikings (8-2 overall,

3-2 Big Eight) won five of the seven matches in straight sets.

“We had a talk before the match who we wanted our girls to be mentally tough whether they were ahead or behind,” Parker coach Justin Long said.

That talk paid dividends at No. 3 and No. 4 singles where Sarah Sodemann and Terri Harmata both bounced back from second-set losses to win their matches.

“We haven’t been pushed in the last couple of matches, but today we were,” Craig High coach Camilla Owen said. “That was the difference in a couple of matches where we just couldn’t quite get a win.”
