Kennedy's Riley Galbraith beat Brady Anderson at No. 1 singles, but that was the Cougars' lone highlight of the night Wednesday at Linn-Mar.

The Lions won the rest of the matches and posted an 8-1 win that was Kennedy's first loss of the season.

"We played well tonight against a team that has a ton of experience on their roster," Linn-Mar Coach Chris Wundram said. Kennedy has five seniors in its top six. "It's an encouraging sign and hopefully we can build on this win."

Linn-Mar is 6-2 overall and 5-1 in the MVC.
