Farber’s win came at No. 4 singles.

Other Spartan winners were Madison Clampitt (No. 2 singles), Sara Kearney/Ella Dietiker (No. 2 doubles) and Shelby Campbell/Claire Hartman (No. 3 doubles).

Hard-luck losers for SJ-O were Sami Kelso (who lost at No. 1 singles in a tiebreaker) and Lily Rice/Makennah Hamilton (who lost at No. 1 doubles in a tiebreaker).

SJ-O  (0-2) returns to action on Thursday (Sept. 5) at Watseka.
