The girls edged conference foe Batesville 3-2 the next day. Roth and Knapp put the Bulldogs down with a three-set comeback (4-6, 6-2, 6-3). Cowen/R. Barker won 6-2, 6-3 and Mears took a 6-2, 6-0 win.

The ladies dropped a 3-2 decision to Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference rival Connersville last Monday. Oldenburg Academy won every match on FC's home courts May 4 to go back with a 5-0 win.
Senior night was May 9 and no fewer than 10 from the Class of 2022 – as well as manager Jack Stirn - were honored and escorted to center court by their parents. Following that was a clean sweep over EIAC colleague South Dearborn, 5-0.
The EIAC tournament starts Thursday and concludes Saturday at Greensburg. Richmond visits Monday and the Connersville Sectional starts mid-week.
