The Laramie High School tennis teams earned a sweep over Torrington Monday at the UW Tennis Complex.

The Plainsmen earned a tough 3-2 win over the Tigers, with the Lady Plainsmen having an easier time of it with a 4-1 win.

For the Laramie girls, Lisa Herbert earned her first varsity win with a tough 3-6, 6-4 and 6-2 win over Torrington’s Bailie Cole at No. 2 singles

Also earning wins for the Lady plainsmen were Kristyn Wykert at No. 1 singles and the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams. Wykert defeated Torrington’s Taylor Lenz 6-3, 6-1.

The Laramie No. 2 doubles team of Widya Adidharma and Taryn Young earned a 6-0, 6-1 win and the No. 3 team of Megan Bedessem and Ellen Nye came out on top 6-0, 6-2.

“Lisa Herbert duked out a tough three-setter for her first varsity win and Bedessem/Nye were solid at No. 3 doubles for us,” Laramie coach Carlos Mellizo said.

For the Plainsmen, Dan Nachtigal and Tanner Williams both earned singles wins, with the No. 2 team of Ryne Ibbara and Zeke Denison also coming out on top. Nachtigal battled back at No. 1 singles with a 4-6, 6-0, 6-1 win over Derek O’Garro and Williams blasted Torrington’s Gordon Kautz 6-0, 6-0.

Ibarra and Dennison earned a 6-2, 6-1 victory.

“We had some big performances in singles from Dan Nachtigal and Tanner Williams and Denison and Ibarra continued to shine for us at No. 2 doubles,” Mellizo said.

Overall, Mellizo said both teams continue to get better.

“We came out today and scratched down a couple of big wins,” he said. “We needed some momentum heading into our big road swing later this week.”

Laramie will be at Rock Springs and Green River on Friday and then take on Jackson and Rawlins on Saturday in Rawlins.
