Third singles junior Alex Stembaugh gets set to hammer a return in Jenison, winning her flight 6-2, 6-1.
First doubles seniors Heather Williams and Katie Rachon discuss winning strategy against Jenison, posting a 6-3, 6-4 win.
Earlier in the week, the squad took one on the chin from Hudsonville 0-8, but not without forcing five of the flights to third sets. Rockford has been the strongest team Hudsonville has encountered so far. Expect a reprisal by the Rams at the OK Red conference meet on May 15 at home.
In non-conference action, the Rams traveled to Forest Hills Eastern courts along with Grand Rapids Christian for a double dual match. The Rams lost to Forest Hills 0-8 and beat Grand Rapids Christian 6-2. The scheduled double dual on Ram courts Saturday was rained out.
