There were two j-v matches contested Tuesday.

“The weather was great,” Miami Trace head coach Greg Leach said. “Washington’s singles (made) the difference.

“Based (on) the last match (that Miami Trace won, 3-2), I knew that this match would be a challenge,” Leach said. “(Their) No. 1 and No. 2 singles players really stepped up. Their No. 3 singles player, (Kuhlwein) always plays well.

“The singles match that Matt Fender lost was his first singles loss of the year,” Leach said. “Adam Ginn and Johnathan Allen remained undefeated on the year.”
