Good team effort today !
The Lions were almost at full strength today for the first time this season, just in time. Crean Lutheran is a very solid team, a qtr finalist in CIF last year. Singles players Brady and Zach ran in to an 11+ UTR player, headed for WestPoint which kept them from sweeping 3. This is a great example of how we don't ever really have to beat the other teams #1 player to win a match. Zach was down vs their #2 player 2-5 and stormed back to take a tiebreaker 7-6 [7-5]. This win broke their back. Score was 3-3 after round 1, and the Lions took round 2, 4 -2 for a 7-5 lead going into round 3. Michael Woodward and Kenney Perez added 5 games to the count in case we ended up in a 9-9 tie. While Gary Davidson and Nick Dubrow narrowly missed a sweep, dropping a round 3 tiebreaker. Esteban Johnson w/ Hudson Aase added a doubles set to the tally. Luke Krolikowski and Charlie Vogel rotated in for a hard-fought last round doubles set.
