The varsity tennis team upped its record to 11-1 yesterday with an easy 10-0 victory oven an outgunned Williams squad at the Palmer Dixon Courts.
"They simply didn't have the firepower to challenge us," coach Jack Barnaby said last night. "We were really in command all the way."
In fact, the Crimson lost but two sets during the entire day. Todd Lundy at number two lost his firs set. 6-3, but stormed back to demolish his Williams opponent with identical 6-0 scores, while Hugh Hyde at number five dropped his second set enroute to a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 win.
"We knew that we had a definite edge, but we still had to play some good tennis to beat them," Barnaby said.
Gary Reiner, playing number one, won his match, 6-4, 6-2, and captain John Ingard took his by a 6-2, 6-4 margin to set the tone for the afternoon.
