FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"That was a brutal ending to a great season and amazing four years for the seniors. We split 1 and 2 doubles and were up 4-1 at 3 dubs and couldn't quite finish. In the singles, for the second time
Jacob Daugherty outplayed their #1. Alter's first set was a tiebreaker and the rest of the guys simply got outplayed. Credit to Boston U as there is no drop off from their #1 to their #6 and they really can grind. Thanks to Hirschberg, Reynolds, Alter and Koman for four amazing winning seasons and a ton of fun memories."
