With her first doubles squad down, 5-4, in the third set on Oct. 6, Barnegat High School girls tennis coach Sue Rogers walked up to the fence surrounding the courts and called over Lily Spagnola and Pimpakan Lertburanakan to talk about things.

“I didn’t say too much,” said the veteran coach, whose eighth-seeded Bengals fell short, 3-2, against Triton during the first round of the NJSIAA South Jersey Group II tournament that ended a five-match winning streak.
