From MSHS Girls Tennis Head Coach, Karl Thomsen:

• “Today was one of those days where the overall team score doesn’t reflect the play on the courts.  Three of our four doubles matches could have gone either way with a bounce here or there.  A lot of the games went to deuce and we are just going to have to find a way to win those key points.  If we can accomplish that, and I think we have the crew to do that, we’ll be in good shape for the end of the season run.”
