Clover defeats Trojans

We finished up our match at Clover tonight. While the match began fairly even after last week's rainout, we were unsuccessful in taking any lines from a strong Clover team this evening.

We had two nail biters at 5 singles and 2 doubles. Both matches resulted in split sets and went to tiebreakers to decide the match.

Duncan Foy played at 5 singles and trailed 6-3, 5-1. Duncan came back to win 6 straight games to force the tiebreaker before dropping the tiebreak 10-5.

Brian Fitzpatrick & Jordan Beaver teamed up at 2 doubles and were successful in claiming the first set 6-4 and stormed out to a 3-0 lead in the second. Clover got hot in the second set to claim it and force the tiebreak as well.

We travel to Gaffney tomorrow for another region match. The bus will be behind the school at 3:15 to depart for the hour bus ride over. All Northwestern students are dismissed from 4th block at 3:00 and middle schoolers need to be written out by a parent to join us. The bus will depart no later than 3:25pm.

Go Trojans!
