Joplin tennis girls beat West Plains, fall to Glendale



From staff reports

sports@joplinglobe.com

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Joplin settled a score with West Plains before falling to Glendale on Friday in the Southwest Missouri Invitational tennis tournament at the Cooper Complex.

The Eagles beat West Plains 7-2 in the eight-team dual-format tournament. The teams had played to a 3-3 tie earlier in the week in a weather-shortened Ozark Conference match.

“This just shows the improvement out of our girls,” Joplin coach Sean McWilliams said of the victory.

Glendale bounced the Eagles 7-2 in a semifinal match.

“Glendale is just a really tough team, with all six starters back from last year plus a freshman in the mix,” McWilliams said. “They will be one of the top teams in our district.”

Joplin returns to the complex to meet the Jefferson City-Springfield Catholic loser at 9 a.m. today in the third-place match.

Rachel Lazenby won both her No. 1 singles matches on Friday for the Eagles. Lazenby also won twice in doubles, with Lexi Willcoxon against West Plains and with Hannah Ingle against Glendale.
