CAPE GIRARDEAU -- The Sikeston tennis team defeated Cape Central for the first time in six season's Thursday, 5-4.
It's Sikeston second win in a row despite playing with a full roster.

Sikeston's No. 1, Kelsey Dial, swept her opponent, 8-0, Martha Neel and Ali Price won their singles matches, 8-4 and 8-6, respectively.
"Even in our losses, Janai Ivory played a close match while suffering from cramps and (Geena) Hooper played good in a tight match. I'm very pleased with the effort put forth by all today defeating a Class 2 opponent."
Sikeston will try and make it three in a row Monday when they host Notre Dame at 4 p.m.
