The Austin High boys' tennis team was dominated 7-0 by the host Owatonna Huskies Tuesday night, falling to 0-4 in the young season.

The top doubles pairing of Mike Cavanaugh and Tucker Schieck showed their best perormance yet, but came up short in losing the tie-breaking third set to Owatonna's John Schriner and Paul Comaher, 6-1, 5-7, 6-3.

"They played the best match by far," said Austin coach Matt Cavanaugh. "They are continuing to improve and are still the bright spot so far."

Austin faces off with arguably the top team in the Big Nine on Thursday, traveling to Winona for a league dual. The Packers stay on the road through the weekend, playing a rescheduled non-conference contest against Rochester Lourdes Saturday at the Rochester Athletic Club's outdoor courts. Thursday's match starts at 4:30 p.m., while Saturday's play gets underway at 9 a.m.
