Event Recap:
The Bears traveled to central Massachusetts today for our sixth match of 2012.  With a tough loss to Taft still fresh on our minds, the Bears were eager to notch a victory.  Thankfully, the 90 minute van ride didn't stick with us for too long and the Bears came out strong.  The evens took to the courts first and #8 Chris Utz '12 continued to demonstrate his improvement this season with a resounding 3-0 victory.  #4 Angel Maldonado '14 played some great rallies with his opponent and despite struggling to find a kill shot, remained focused and won 3-0.  Co-captain and #2 Hank Hoover played a longtime friend of his from his hometown and won 3-0.  #6 Matt Nelson couldn't find any consistency and struggled to get out from behind his opponent.  He put forth a good effort but lost the fourth 10-12 to lose 1-3.  That left the Bears up 2-1 as the odds took to the courts.  #7 Jack Lewers '12 played some strategic squash and won 3-0 with some well-timed drop shots. The #1's were the next match to be completed and co-captain Hayden Dunham '13 won 3-0.  That left the Bears up 4-1 and sealed a victory but there were still two matches to play.  New to the #3 position, Joey Ross '12 couldn't find any rhythm and struggled to return his opponents serve.  He fell quickly in three.  #5 Sam Lewis also took some time to find his groove and his win came with a 13-11 victory in the fourth game.  That left the Bears with a 5-2 result and improved our record to 5-1 for the new year.  The Bears hope to keep the positive energy going as we face a rematch with Avon this Saturday in our second home game of the year.
