BUFFALO GROVE – Edwardsville’s doubles team of Natalie Karibian and Abby Cimarolli advanced to the quarterfinals of the consolation bracket in Class 2A, while Triad’s duo of Bailey Grigg and Molly Suess were eliminated in day three of the IHSA girls’ state tennis championships, being held at Buffalo Grove High School and other sites around the suburban Chicago area.
The Karibitian-Cimarolli quarterfinals match was rained out, so the girls were tied for fifth with seven other doubles tandems when the tourney was stopped.

They were to meet Anna Loureiro and Jayme Gross of Orland Park Sandberg in their next match at Schaumburg High School that was cancelled.
Grigg and Suess played one match, the fourth round of the consolation bracket, where they lost to Maddy Jacobs and Sydney Schott of Sterling Newman Central Catholic 6-1, 7-6 (8-5 in the tiebreak), and were eliminated.
