Colin Riggs enjoyed a productive day on the tennis courts Tuesday.
His teammates on the Ankeny boys’ squad didn’t fare as well.
Riggs provided both of the Hawks’ victories in a 9-2 loss at Ames in a CIML Iowa Conference dual meet. The Little Cyclones won five of the six singles matches and four of the five doubles matches.
Riggs rallied for a 3-6, 7-5, 1-0 win over Taylor Xu at No. 5 singles. He dominated the third-set supertiebreaker, 10-2, to win the match.
Riggs then teamed up with Kade Somers for another victory at No. 3 doubles. The duo defeated Xu and Steven Tian, 7-5, 6-4.
The Little Cyclones improved to 2-3 in the conference and 5-4 overall. Ankeny’s records dropped to 1-3 and 3-7.
The Hawks will travel to Mason City on Thursday.
