"I was pleased with our performance," said Tiger tennis coach Phil McCluskey. "We lost the girls number one doubles in three sets, and a couple of breaks in that match could have changed the outcome.

"Justin Brummitt overcame a first-set loss to win in three sets.

"All the girls singles players played well, winning in straight sets. The girls number two doubles won without losing a game, and the mixed number two doubles won a hard fought three-set match to secure the tie."

The Tigers are at Caldwell Thursday to face the Cougar netters.
