In a match-up of Olympic League unbeatens, with both teams coming into the match with impressive strings of wins, this contest was for the league lead. MHS swept last year’s head-to-head contests, but two of them were 9-9 and were determined by games.

Riding strong momentum into the second round, MHS blanked the Crusaders, 6-0, securing the Minutemen a victory, 11-1, before finishing with a 15-3 final score. Sweeps were in order for Alleman, Lin, Sierra/Tan, and Leiva/Mathews, while Scott won 2 and #3 doubles, Tony Gao/Billy Sun won 1.
