By John RittenhouseThe 2004 tennis season came to an end for Luverne’s Brittany Boeve and Samantha Gacke during the final rounds of the Section 3A Individual Tournament played in St. Peter Thursday.Playing as a doubles team, Boeve and Gacke were the lone Cardinals still alive in the tournament after the event’s first two rounds that were played in Redwood Falls Oct. 11.Boeve and Gacke were aiming to earn a berth in the state tournament as a doubles team by placing first or second in section competition, but a third-place finish ended their campaign.A lack of doubles experience worked against the Cardinals Thursday. Boeve and Gacke played singles most of the season before forming a doubles team for the individual tournament."You could tell they have not played a lot of doubles," said Cardinal coach Greg Antoine. "We had two singles players playing doubles, and it was noticeable. We played well against the Pipestone team we beat, but we didn’t click in the other matches."Boeve and Gacke took on New-London Spicer’s Kristin Erickson and Jess Mueller in the semifinals, which was the first match of the day. Erickson and Mueller, the eventual tournament champions, handed the Cards 6-2 and 6-0 setbacks.The Luverne team faced Pipestone’s Tori Hess and Abby Brady in the losers’ bracket, and a 6-2, 7-5 win for the Luverne team gave it a berth in a true second-place match against NL-S’s Stephanie Sapp and Alyssa Wichter.Sapp and Wicher topped the Cards 6-3 and 6-1, ending the 2004 season for Gacke and Boeve.
