Loree Hazelrigg isn’t used to this kind of down-to-the-wire pressure.

For the past three years, the Bishop LeBlond junior most often waltzes to victory with her devastating serve and powerful ground strokes. She sure had to work for her 100th win, though.

Hazelrigg staged a remarkable come-from-behind win Wednesday during the Golden Eagles’ 5-1 victory in their Class 1 regional match against Platte County. After facing three match points against Platte County’s Lisa Wyrwinski, Hazelrigg reeled of the final five points of the match for a thrilling, 1-6, 6-4, 11-9 triumph in the No. 1 singles match.

“It scared me to death. I was so nervous,” Hazelrigg said. “I’m still jittery.”

In a match that started Tuesday on the courts of Noyes Tennis Complex, Hazelrigg faced a 2-0 deficit against Wyrwinski as play resumed early Wednesday afternoon. But the Eagles’ junior couldn’t solve her opponent’s aggressive play and dropped the first set.

Down 4-1 in the second match, Hazelrigg’s frustration soon gave way to a brief stint of hopelessness before her turnaround started.

“I honestly gave up for a little bit,” she said. “I mentally told myself to just win a point, and I started getting my confidence back. I ended up winning the set, and I was shocked to still be in the game.”

Even after evening the match, Hazelrigg fell behind 8-4 in a third-set tiebreaker, but a series of unforced errors by Wyrwinski frustrated the Pirates’ top player and gave Hazelrigg an opening she wouldn’t waste. With the tiebreaker knotted at 9, Wyrwinski hit two shots wide to give the match to Hazelrigg — the 100th of her stellar career, including doubles play.

“When she started getting mad at herself, I took that as a confidence booster, and it gave me an advantage,” Hazelrigg said.

Her victory put the Eagles (9-0) up 4-1 and put the team on track to win its third sectional match in as many seasons. With a seesaw battle in the No. 3 singles match, Lauren Looney toppled Renee Ernst — 6-4, 6-4 — to put the clamps on LeBlond’s win.

The Eagles will take on the winner of Marshall and Warrensburg during Saturday’s sectional round. A win there would lift the team to its second straight quarterfinal appearance.

“When we got to 4-1, I felt a lot better,” LeBlond coach Chris Losson said. “I really didn’t feel totally comfortable until Lauren closed it out, but I’m a worrier.”

Conner Hazelrigg — Loree’s twin sister — cruised to a victory against Rachel Bumstead in the only other singles match that went the distance, while the Hazelrigg sisters combined to win the No. 1 doubles slot in the only match that reached a final result on Tuesday.

Looney teamed with Summer Bridges to win the No. 2 doubles game before the nailbiter against match against Ernst, who seized the lead in the second set before Looney slammed the door and gave LeBlond the victory.

“I was kind of hoping to get somewhat of a margin, but she’s a good, consistent player,” Looney said. “We definitely had an interesting match — kind of bad for my mother’s blood pressure.”
