“Today was a rollercoaster of emotions. I knew this quad would be a definitive moment in terms of where we stood in the state…and I am not disappointed. We had our chances against FHN, we just couldn’t materialize them. Dropping three third set breakers was a tough pill to swallow, but it also shows me that we can beat them as a team considering all of our wins were straight sets. On the flip side, I was extremely pleased with how we handled GPS. Top to bottom, I think this team is getting tougher by the day, and by October, I think we can avenge the flights we lost.”
The lineups for the FHC match were altered by both programs in order to create a “fun” match. As Dow and FHC face each other at a minimum of 2 more times in the season (and some flights 3). We mixed singles and doubles lineups and nobody was placed in the correct position.
