EAGLES TAKE DOWN GPC 8-1

Once again, we were able to get a quick start in doubles winning at 2 and 3. Elliott Kahler and Ian Wagner are starting to become a very strong team at number 2. They both have very big serves and are always making the serve team work with a high % of returns in play. Will Humphreys and Brian Kowalski were solid at 3 doubles and staked us to a 2-1 advantage.

Pottish once again was dominant at 1 singles. It's amazing how much pressure he takes off the rest of the lineup with his consistent performances at the toughest position in the lineup. It was nice to see Kowalski at 2, and Halpern at 4, secure their first wins in singles. Kowalski played a dominant first set and was able to hold off a late GPC surge in the 2nd set. Halpern had a tough 3 set match, and didn't play his best tennis, but he showed a lot heart in the 3rd set, and raised his level to secure a victory. It was nice to see him fight through a not so perfect day.Ian Wagner, Simon Lavoie-Perusse, and Alex Ruderman continue to be solid and dominant at their positions.

The ITA Indoor National Championship will begin a week from today. Fortunately, we have another week of preparation which will help us be ready for the challenge. The ITA Indoors is always one of the highlights of the year and extremely important for the younger players, so they get a feel for the intensity they are going to face in May.
