The Ballard High School girls tennis team overcame adversity and played one of its best matches of the season April 28 in a 6-1 loss to Bellevue, a team coach Charles Brenner said is one of the toughest it will face all season.

"Today was a great day for Ballard tennis because it presented a lot of promise," Brenner said. "Many of our girls played their best match of the season, which is awesome."

The Beavers played well despite battling the rain and the loss of senior Kristin Otness, who fractured her wrist in the team's previous match.

Brenner singled out Jimena Diaz and Maya Voelk as two athletes who played better against Bellevue than he had seen them play all season.

Voelk earned the single Beaver victory of the day, beating Bellevue's Mackenzie Urquhart 6-3 and 6-2.

Ballard (0-6) faces Mercer Island at 3:45 p.m. on April 29 at the Lower Woodland Tennis Courts
