SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. --- The Golden Eagle tennis team took the doubles point to start the day but came up just a hair short of winning the team match, falling by a score of 4-3 to Lock Haven at the Central PA Tennis Center on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Golden Eagles started out the day with a thrilling win in the doubles session, winning both matches contested to take the opening score of the day. The No. 1 duo of Alexis Strouse and Davan Lion started things off with a close win, beating Mia Shuler and Christy McLean by a 7-5 score. The action in the No. 2 doubles match was even better, though, as the two sides were knotted up at six games apiece.
 
That led to a tiebreaker for the doubles point, and in this case the Golden Eagles came out on top. Josie Beckerleg and Alyson Fisher won the tiebreaker by a 7-3 score, giving them the set win.
 
Lock Haven got the better of the Golden Eagles in the singles session though, winning four of the six matches to rally for the win. Strouse won soundly at No. 2 singles, cruising past Olivia Anastos for a 6-2, 6-2 victory. Beckerleg defeated McLean in straight sets in the No. 4 singles match, winning the first set 6-3 before taking a closer 7-5 result in the second set.
