Dexter downs Notre Dame

In the first-ever meeting between Dexter and Notre Dame Regional High School in girls tennis, the Lady Bearcats posted a 8-1 win at home Tuesday afternoon.

While the two schools have become rivals in almost every sport over the years, this is the first year Notre Dame has had a girls tennis team. The school has built a eight-court tennis complex on campus and will field a boys tennis team this fall.

The match, which improved Dexter's record to 7-2, will be the only regular season meeting of the two schools this season.

Dexter opened the match with a sweep of the three doubles contests to coast home with the win. Dexter's junior varsity team posted a 9-3 win.

Dexter will be back in action Thursday on the road at Jackson and the varsity players will take part in a tournament at Farmington Saturday.
