A big win here therefore lifted the team and will prove to be instrumental in our placings for Nationals. Ian Hay, playing at the number 2 spot, played exceptionally through 5 games, showing grit and determination to outhit and outlast his opponent. Alex Swenson, playing at the number 4 spot, produced some hard hitting to defeat his opponent in three games.

These matches conclude the first half of the season for the men. With the winter break coming up, the men will head home before coming back in January for some more exciting matches against a variety of collegiate teams.
