Pella fought hard, but the girls’ tennis team eventually fell 5 – 0 to Cedar Rapids Xavier in the regional finals in Iowa City on Saturday. The Lady Dutch did not get blanked in two consecutive sets in any of the singles’ matches, and Coach Josh McCollum tells KNIA/KRLS Sports that his girls stuck it out and battled every point. Lily Roozeboom is the last Pella girl standing this season, as she’ll take part in the state individual tournament on June 4 and 5 in Ankeny. Full results for Pella can be found below.
