COACH SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• "We knew it would be a battle with Grace. They have a terrific team and they are very deep. We knew we would be tested at every position. The fans witnessed some incredible tennis today. It was a joy to watch. Martin Carrizo was able to win a the one spot against defending ITA Midwest Champion. Great win for him today. Eli Steiner battled back from six match points to win 14-12 in the third set tiebreaker."
• Huntington had to play Grace after our match with Grace; therefore they were really tired by the time they played us at 5:00 p.m. We controlled the match from the very beginning and never looked back. Our closest match was 6-2, 6-3 at the three and five singles spots. Great team win for the guys to clinch our fourth straight Crossroads League regular season title!"

UP NEXT

• The team takes on IU SouthEast and Judson on Friday at Sutter Tennis Center to sharpen their skills before the Crossroads League Tournament.
