Rochester Mayo senior Claire Loftus capped her high school career with one final championship. The top seed in the big-school field recorded a 5-7, 7-5 2-0 victory over Elk River senior Ava Nelson, the No. 3 seed. Nelson could not continue in the third set because of cramps in her right quadriceps, an injury she suffered during the second set.

Mounds View sisters Rory, a junior, and Reese, a freshman teamed for the first time ever this postseason to record a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Edina’s Astrid Kerrman and Raya Hou in the big-school championship match.
