vs Aliso
The Lions rebounded after their 0-8 round 1 'experience' and were scheduled to play doubles first in this match. Doubles is our specialty and it showed as the Lions took line 2 and 3 dbls sets. Ashkan Pakshir with Nick Graham were down 4 match points before prevailing 7-5 in a great comeback over Aliso Niguel's #3 team. Brock Bowman with Sean Delaney had a see-saw match in the #2 slot and came up on top, 6-4. There were some great doubles points in this set! Coach Orahood believed that the 1st round match, singles first format, hurt our doubles, as they were kind of down. But, doubles first, is our strong suit and it showed in round 2. However, singles followed and the Lions took only 1 of 5 sets; a 6-2 victory by Nick Graham at line 5 singles. This resulted in a 3-5 loss to Aliso, who we meet again in a dual match in a couple of weeks.
