Lady Bulldog Netters Host Triangular

The Lady Bulldogs played their last home tennis match of the season on Tuesday, September 21. Milbank hosted a triangular with Aberdeen Central and Aberdeen Roncalli as their guests.

Coach Abby Trapp said, “The girls fell short to both teams — Central at 1-9 and Roncalli at 4-5. There were incredibly long rallies and great points played, and though the scores don’t show it, the girls fought hard in both matches.  We got close to pulling off a win, but were edged out by Roncalli by just one match.”
