The Lady Eagles got the new tennis season underway picking up one win and dropping two at the Osakis Quadrangle on Monday.
"This is always a good event to try some different line-ups and assess our returning and new players," said Head Coach Gary Bach.
"We played short one player today, due to an unexpected varsity roster change. Consequently, we had to give up a team point going into each match."
In spite of that, NY Mills played competitively in several matches on a hot windy day.
"I thought we did some very good things out there and saw others to work out in practice."

It was the first event of a busy week for the Lady Eagles. Wednesday's travel plans led to Brainerd to play in the Hiway 10-S Tour Invitational with seven other teams from the area and around the state. NY Mills placed fifth.
"We were very pleased with the way our players competed versus many quality teams today in absolutely beautiful weather. We won our share of close matches in the first round and came close on a few more. All in all a very good outing for our team at this early part of the season."
NY Mills wrapped up play for the week against West Central Area, playing matches in Barrett and Elbow Lake. The Lady Eagles played well in singles taking three of four in straight sets.
"The Knights edged us out in the double matches with a close three set win at first doubles being the difference maker. Our seniors Missy, Lauren, and Jen kept their feet moving and played very smart and consistent tennis with few errors in very windy conditions to pick up our team points."
