Two victories in three days have lifted the Bluffton High School girls tennis team to a 13-2 dual match record, assuring the Pirates of their best percentage season in history.

Coach Jesse Sensenig's netters disposed of Archbold 4-1 last Saturday morning and followed that up with a 3-2 edging of Bath Monday, both wins on the road.

With the rain pouring down and a field as torn up as it was any team has a chance to win, even 0-5 Allen East had a chance to win.

This was not to be the case as Bluffton earned their 4th win of the season, but in a game that was closer than anyone would have thought, 21-14.

The Bluffton High School girls tennis team went indoors Thursday to knock off Lima Central Catholic to "win" the mythical Northwest Conference championship for the third straight year, 3-2.

BHS and LCC are the only two NWC schools to field tennis teams, so there is no official league title, but this rivalry has been hard-fought in recent years.

Taking their season record to 11-2 for the fall, coach Jesse Sensenig's netters became the third Pirate girls team to win that many matches in a season.
