Coach Jesse Sensenig's team is now 6-1 for the fall, having won its last six decisions after an opening loss to Shawnee. BHS was 6-9 in dual competition last year.
Emily Sprague won a three-setter to up her season mark at No. 2 singles to 8-1, while Ashlin Gable improved to 7-3 at No. 1 and Kristi Geiser moved to 7-2 at No. 3 singles, both winning in straight sets.

BHS is idle until Sept. 8 when Fostoria High invades Harmon Field courts.
