“She courageously played on but had no movement and lost 10-6,” said Polk County head coach Richard Davis of Muse. “In our grasp, but another great day of getting better. We are definitely ready for conference play and beyond if we can just maintain our intensity.”
Harris and Jenne teamed for an 8-6 win at No. 1 doubles.
Polk County is back in action on Monday, hosting Crest.
