Ian Fortune and Carter Quist combined court skills at No. 1 doubles to defeat Carson Mattson and Corben Dock in back-to-back 7-5 sets to cap the Cardinals’ team points against Waconia.

Komaragiri, Klanderud, Hagen and Fortune produced Fairmont’s points during singles action to squeeze by the host Saints.

Komaragiri netted a 6-2, 6-1 decision over Caleb Rivera at the No. 1 spot in the division, Klanderud coasted to back-to-back 6-0 set triumphs over Marco Hernandez at second singles, Hagen bested Preston Wegner at the No. 3 position, 6-1, 6-4, while Fortune outslugged Payton Brown at fourth singles, 6-3, 7-5.

Hagen completed his perfect 3-0 record on the day by downing Jon Besek at third singles, 6-2, 6-3, to account for the Cardinals’ only point in that bracket.

Noah Vetter and Dominick Lund-May combined at No. 2 doubles to garner a 6-0, 6-2 win over Steven Pilarski and Spencer Briggs, while Fairmont teammates Oliver Thedens and Weston Loughmiller collected back-to-back 6-3 set wins over Cotter’s Macy Dvorak and Sjida Mircada at third doubles.
