Audrey Collins, at No. 3 singles for the Brainerd, won her match as the Warriors dropped a 5-2 non-conference meet to the Foley Falcons in only their second loss of the season Thursday, Sept. 27, at the Brainerd High School courts.
Jaycie Hindrichs-Lily Jones picked up the Warriors other win at No. 2 doubles as Brainerd slipped to 17-2 overall.
"It was good for us to get Foley on our schedule this year because they are a strong, deep team like us," said Warriors head coach Lisa Salo, "We need this type of competition and will use what we learned from our matches to work on specific parts of our game."
The Warriors end the regular season Monday, Oct. 1, with a Central Lakes Conference meet against Sartell. It will be their "Fill the Hill" event which kicks off Brainerd's homecoming week. All fans will receive a free bag of popcorn.
Junior varsity winners for the Warriors Thursday were Brynne Folden in singles and the doubles teams of Chloe Pecarich-Catherine Moraghan, Lily Plested-Peyton McConkey and Macey Peterson-Amber Britton.
