South Whidbey’s second doubles team won a loser-out match in the 1A District 1 girls tennis tournament Friday to qualify for the tri-district meet Wednesday in Seattle.

Falcons Isla Dubendorf and Bayley Gochanour defeated Blaine’s Roe and Hayes 7-5, 6-4 at South Whidbey High School after winning two of their three matches on the first day of the tournament, May 13. The duo was forced to play a loser-out match because they lost in the final match to their teammates, the top-seeded tandem of Amelia Weeks and Tess Radisch, and had not faced Roe and Hayes, who also lost to Weeks and Radisch.
