Lawrence's Yelena Birt smacks a backhand on Monday, Sept. 15, 2014, at LHS.

It was a revolving door of doubles partners for Lawrence High juniors Caroline Baloga and Audrina Hidalgo at the Lawrence quadrangular on Monday.

Each had three pairings on the court for her three matches, but when they teamed up for the final match of the day, they found plenty of success.

Baloga and Hidalgo combined to win the No. 1 doubles match against Topeka West and helped the Lions secure a 2-1 record in the quad at LHS.

The two have played as partners in the past, and it helped them plenty.

“You kind of have to adjust your partner’s strengths and weakness,” Baloga said. “You have to know them as a player really well and adjust as soon as possible.”

The limit on how many matches one can play in a season and an injury forced the mix-and-matching of doubles partners throughout the afternoon. To make things easier after adjusting playing styles all afternoon, Baloga and Hidalgo had a simple strategy in their 8-4 victory.

“Since they were both at the net, we were either trying to hit it over the shorter girl’s head or keep it low at their feet,” Hidalgo said.

Against Topeka West, Nina Givotovsky added an 8-2 win at No. 2 singles, while Erin Ventura and Betsy Smoot won No. 2 doubles by default.

The Lions also topped Topeka High, as Kendall Pritchard won at No. 1 singles, 8-0; Lauren Schulteis won at No. 2 singles, 8-5; and Hidalgo teamed with Madison Mask for an 8-4 victory at No. 2 doubles.

LHS was swept in all four matches to open the quad against Washburn Rural.

“I thought we played really well against a really good Washburn Rural team. It kind of helped us get set for the second round,” LHS coach Chris Marshall said. “The third round took a little work to get going. I thought we were a little slow in starting, but we finished out pretty well. So overall it was a prosperous day.”

Yet not everyone was happy with the way they finished playing. Givotovsky wasn’t thrilled with her victory in her lone match of the afternoon.

“I don’t have a solid stroke on my forehand, and it’s my strong hand, so I’m disappointed in that,” Givotovsky said.

However, she was surprised how well she played at the net because she isn’t usually very quick.

Marshall was just happy to see an improvement from earlier in the season.

“I’m seeing a lot of our players begin to understand the concept and are playing more consistent tennis,” Marshall said. “That’s what we’re looking for.”

The Lions will play in the Topeka Invitational at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
