"Luckily, we have another opportunity to compete tomorrow against St. John Fisher. I"m proud of how Sam played today. He was yet again dominant in both singles and doubles. Graham lost a really close match at third singles. I was happy with how he competed in some tough conditions. Let's go Highlanders!"
