Minnetonka won a team tennis championship on Wednesday and on Friday their top two players, Sarah Shahbaz and Kelsey Phillips clashed for a 2A singles title at Baseline Tennis Center in Minneapolis.
Shahbaz and Phillips have played against each other before, like in their Section 2AA title match last week to qualify for state. Phillips won that match 7-5, 6-0.
Shahbaz flipped the script on Friday in the state title match, winning in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.
