ANKENY — The Marshalltown girls tennis team had lots of action at the Ankeny Invitationa on Friday, where it faced off with Urbandale, Des Moines Roosevelt and host Ankeny.

The Bobcats had a tough one to start the day, losing to the J-Hawks in an 11-0 sweep, but the girls recovered nicely for a 7-4 win over the Hawks and a 9-1 win over the Roughriders.

Against Ankeny, Kaitlyn Martin at No. 2 doubles got her first win of the day against Karley Weber, 8-3, while Acacia Brown also earned an 8-3 win over Abby Johnson at No. 5 doubles.

Sarah Jacobs at No. 4 had the biggest win in singles, taking out Katelyn North 8-2.

In the doubles matches, Brown and Jacobs had the biggest win at No. 3 doubles, defeating Johnson and Alli Jacobson 83-5, while Maggie Grimm and Olivia Ryan won at No. 2 doubles and Aubrey Hala and Libby Loney won at No. 4 doubles.

The Bobcats dominated Des Moines Roosevelt in the final game, with Martin, Grimm, Jacobs, Brown and Ryan all winning their singles matches. Emily Miller was the only girl to not win a match heading into the final doubles action of the day, but she and Martin got the job done at No. 1 doubles with an 8-4 victory over Lydia Berry and Elizabeth Kirsner.
