TENNIS

The Hodag tennis team finished undefeated in conference as they defeated the Red Robins 6-1 on Thursday and 7-0 on Friday to finish GNC play. Antigo does not have any doubles varsity players so the Hodags only needed to win one singles match to win the meet. Thursday, Dalton Fritz, John Currie and Gavin Denis all won in flights 1 through 3 respectively as Max Durkee lost his at No. 4 singles. On Friday coach Nichols changed the lineup putting Currie at 1, Leo Losch at 2, Charlie Heck at 3 and at 4 singles was Nick Lesch. Each player won their flight to enable the Hodags to keep the undefeated streak intact.
The team next travels May 16 to non-conference foe Marshfield and then the GNC conference meet on Thursday at Minocqua.
