The Washburn Lady Blues netters dropped a 5-4 decision to Rockhurt in regional play on the Washburn tennis complex on Friday afternoon.
Washburn was leading 2-1 after doubles action as doubles pairs Whitley Zitch and Morgan Rainey won 8-5 at No. 2 doubles and Casyn Buchman and myself picked up an 8-5 win at No. 3 doubles entering singles play. However, Washburn seniors Rainey at No. 1 singles and Kristen McKee at No. 6 singles both were forced to retire during their matches after succumbing to dehydration and heat sickness due to the warm weather conditions. Despite these devastating defaults to the overall score against Rockhurst, the lower classmen, Casyn Buchman topped Mary Lanaghan 6-4, 6-2 in No. 5 singles and I managed to win my match over Karsyn Betts at No. 2 singles 6-0, 6-2.
