Everyone on the team played solid tennis to help secure the 7-0 victory over Lynnwood on Tuesday night. 

Zaid Khan (S1) defeated his opponent by playing consistent tennis and utilizing the drop shot and lob combination. Calvin Rice (S2) stepped up his game today by hitting blistering forehands and minimizing his unforced errors. Owen Pierce (S3) won by keeping the ball deep and getting to the net to finish points. Matthew Gardiner (S4) had rough a start, but he remembered the mantra that it isn’t about how you start, but how you finish and he finished strong to take the victory.
