Girls tennis team to play Montevideo in 6A opener

The Benson girls tennis team closed out the regular-season with three-straight wins to raise its record to 15-5 heading into the postseason.  The Braves are having one of the top 10 seasons in girls tennis history this year with a win total that has been topped only seven times in the past 35 years.
The Braves started out 8-2 this season, but then went 1-3 over their next four matches with losses to Minnewaska Area, Melrose Area, and MACCRAY, before winning their last six-straight to end the regular-season.
Benson is seeded fourth in the upcoming Section 6A Team Tourney, and was set to host fifth-seeded Montevideo at 10:30 a.m., Monday, Oct. 12 at Fitness Evolution in St. Cloud.  With a win, Benson would face top-seeded Osakis at 8 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 14 at Fitness Evolution and the championship is set for noon the same day.
