The day after wrapping up a winless regular season, two Ballard High School girls tennis players, Anna Brokhaug and Jimena Diaz, won their doubles match on the first day of the District Tournament May 13 to move on to the second day.

Diaz and Brokhaug won five straight games after falling behind 1-6 and 0-3 to defeat Summer Than and Sherry Tran from Garfield.

"Needless to say, I was very impressed in the way they bounced back to win the match," coach Charles Brenner said. "They were down but never gave up."

Ballard's Stephanie Loo and Sara Gilmore competed in singles matches in the District Tournment, both drawing tough match-ups, Brenner said.

Gilmore lost to Dayna Bennett from Issaquah High School 3-6 and 2-6. Loo lost to Kelly Song from Eastlake High School 2-6 and 4-6.

"Both played above and beyond what was anticipated and lost in much closer matches than they were supposed to be," Brenner said.

Cami Herk and Nicole Frederick also participated in a doubles match in the tournament for the Beavers, losing to a Lake Washington team.

Diaz and Brokhaug compete in the second day of the tournament at 4:15 p.m. on May 14 at Skyline High School.
