The Ankeny Centennial boys’ tennis team played by far its closest dual meet of the season on Friday.

After splitting the six singles matches, the 10th-ranked Jaguars won three of the five doubles contests to post a 6-5 victory at No. 9 Ames. They improved to 3-1 in the CIML Central Conference and 7-1 overall, while the Little Cyclones’ records dropped to 1-3 and 5-3.

“It was a super tight match,” said Centennial coach Tami Lewton. “We had numerous tiebreakers.”

The dual meet was tied at 5-5 with only the No. 5 doubles match left to be determined. Ames’ Nate Wilson and Nao Furukawa won the opening set of that match before Centennial’s Andrew Unick and Matt DenAdel rallied for a 4-6, 7-6, 1-0 victory.

“Andrew and Matt were clutch,” Lewton said. “They pulled out the super-tiebreaker, 10-8.”

Centennial has won five consecutive meets since dropping a 7-4 decision to Valley on April 12.

“It was a great win by the guys,” Lewton said.

Here are the match-by-match results:
