In a match that was scheduled at the last minute, San Benito head coach Ed Cecena said, the Haybaler girls tennis team dropped its 2010 opener by a 4-3 margin to visiting Sobrato on Thursday at Hollister’s Ridgemark Golf and Country Club.
San Benito picked up two of its wins in the doubles category. The team’s top pairing in Erin Glasspool and Alex Triolo won their match against Bulldogs Allison Stoner and Amanda Alipaz 6-2, 6-1, while San Benito’s No. 2 team of Alex Garcia and Olivia Diaz defeated Allison Betancourt and Mika Schellenberger 7-6, 6-3.
The Balers’ only other win came at No. 3 singles, however, where Audrey Marshall won her match by forfeit.
Otherwise, Sobrato was able to take the remaining four matches and earn the one-point victory.
At No. 1 singles, Bulldog Alexis Whitaker defeated Hayley Barker 6-0, 7-6, while Alexa Watanabe downed Kristina Slavich at the No. 2 position as well.
Sister Kelsey Slavich, meanwhile, dropped a 6-3, 6-1 decision to Sobrato’s Emerald Nguyen at the No. 4 singles spot.
In the only other match, the Bulldogs’ No. 3 doubles pair of Amy Morimoto and Maggie Luu defeated Stephanie Slavin and Katherine Starks-Jones 5-7, 6-2, 10-5.
San Benito will have a chance to bounce back from its early-season loss on Friday when it will travel to Aptos for a 4 p.m. match.
