Hastings tennis had their busiest week of the season seeing five different opponents in six days. Friday was a welcome day off in the middle of the long stretch of competitions that culminated with two matches on Saturday.

Monday, Stillwater came to town and defeated the Raiders soundly, only allowing the Raiders to win a total of 13 of the 97 individual games played. The Ponies pranced out of Hastings winning 7-0.

Wednesday was the St. Paul Highland Park Scots turn to play under the tower. The Raiders fared slightly better in this matchup not only winning more individual games, but also winning two of the seven matches. The Scots ultimately took the tower 5-2 and Hastings was off to a rough start of their week.

Thursday, the Raiders traveled to the North to take on the Polars. The boys would not be frozen out on this day, icing the Polars 7-0, a nice rebound after the first two competitions of the week.

Saturday, Hastings fought hard against Lakeville South falling 7-0 and Cretin Derham Hall falling 5-2.
