Next Match: Quarter-Finals at Hershey Friday, 5/16
Coop and Ed rolled through their opponents pretty quickly which was nice. Shreyas and Dan took control nicely midway through the first set and you could see their confidence build during the second set. Luke and Sam played well at times but will have to be much more aggressive and consistent in the next round and freshman Sebastian Forest had to work hard against his opponent but figured out a way to win. Overall the guys did a nice job today but the competition will be much tougher in Hershey so we need to be much more focused and much stronger mentally. We still have some work to do, even though we are one of the top 8 teams in the state, and we are all looking forward to Friday.
