The Austin girls tennis team opened its season in style as it topped the Wingers 5-2 in Red Wing Thursday.

The Packers (1-0 overall, 1-0 Big Nine) swept the three doubles matches that included Natalie Haynes and Jadyn Moriarty winning in three sets at No. 3.

“It was a great way to start the season,” Austin head coach Jeff Anderson said. “After losing to Red Wing in a really close match last year, we wanted to come out and try to be better than last year. I was proud of how the girls played and competed today.”

The Packers will host Faribault in their home opener at Paulson tennis courts at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
