WASECA — The Class A No. 7-ranked Fairmont Cardinal girls tennis lineup continued its winning ways on Tuesday against the Waseca Bluejays during Big South Conference action.

The hard-hitting Cardinals reeled off seven straight-set victories to sweep both the singles and doubles brackets.

Claire Nemmers pounded out a 6-2, 6-3 win over Sarah Robbins at No. 1 singles for Fairmont, while teammate Maggy Totzke needed the 12-game minimum to down Nicola DeJager in straight love sets at the No. 2 spot in the division.

Abi Peyman produced a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Takya Schoenrock during third singles action for the Cardinals, while Anika Haugen made the transition from doubles to singles play to post back-to-back 6-4 set victories over Sarah Haley at the No. 4 position in the bracket.

Lauren Davis and Ellie Hernes combined tennis talents at No. 1 doubles to capture a 6-4, 6-3 decision over Waseca’s CeCe Huttemier and Miranda Breck, while Libby Totzke and Hope Klanderud needed only two games over the limit to defeat Addie Pfeifer and Jaidence Medina in second doubles action, 6-0, 6-2.

Johanna Petschke and Lily Laven teamed at third doubles and clicked on all cylinders to net a 6-1, 6-3 win over Mia Kanewischer and Addie Bomsta.

Fairmont (11-1) travels to New Ulm on Thursday for a 4:30 p.m. conference dual meet.
