Urbana dominates Normal West for conference tennis win

Urbana's Karl Bonito hits a volley back over the net in their home match against Uni-High last month. Teamed up with Santi Lleras in the #2 doubles slot, the pair defeated Tyler Cunningham and Dane Schlipmann in their road conference match at Noral West, 8-4. The Tigers' varsity tennis team brought home the W after dominating the Ironmen, 6-3.

NORMAL - There is no better feeling than walking away with a pair of wins after a varsity tennis match. You can bet Urbana's Ian Peters and Xander Ashley were happy campers after helping UHS pick up a 6-3 team win over host Normal West on Tuesday.

After dropping a first close set 7-5 at #1 singles for Urbana, Ashley rallied back to win the second set 6-2 to force a tiebreaker. Having West's Rolen Schlipmann's number, and the momentum still in his favor, he took the third set 10-5.

Later, paired up with doubles partner Luke Pankau at #3 doubles, the duo rolled past Ironmen Nolan Lampert and Andrew Cunningham for breadstick, 8-1.

Like Ashley, Peters also dropped his first set during his singles match against Normal West's Tyler Cunningham. The senior recovered from the lopsided 6-1 loss to take the second set 6-3. Still in command in the 10-point tiebreak, he took the match with an impressive 10-3 win.

With teammate Joe Solava as his doubs partner, the two ground out a hard-fought victory over Ironmen duo Rolen Schlipmann and Evan Pattelli, Normal West at #1 doubles, 8-6.

Also picking up wins for the Tigers were Dominic Urban at #6 singles and # doubles pair Santi Lleras and Karl Bonita.
