From Coach Dittmer:

There were not a lot of bright spots in the blowout with the exception of our #2 doubles. They played the best I have seen this season and I believe that they will continue to improve in the final month. I thought they did a great job of communicating with their signals and hit some excellent groundstrokes. I am looking forward to seeing how they finish up the season.

From Coach Dittmer:

Despite losing, Nick Kuzoff played an impressive match at #3 singles. I can really see his improvement from the first day of the season to now. He played a lot of long points and just came up a bit short. Joe Creanza also left it all out on the court in his loss at #2 singles. He hit a lot of really good shots but just made a few too many errors in the end. Even though he lost, I was very proud of his effort. He even got sick during his match but wanted to continue playing. It is great to see that kind of dedication from the Senior.
