It was the first home varsity match on the new Shorewood courts. The match was a close battle between two very good teams. Scott Park and Kyle Berquist, number 1 doubles, were ahead in the final third set 4-1, which was the deciding match for the overall match between the two WesCo 3A teams.
The Glacier Peak team of Tucker Davis and Ethan Jones came roaring back to win four straight and go ahead 5-4. Park and Berquist rallied and won the next two games to take the lead at 6-5 needing just to hold their serve and win out. Davis and Jones were able to tie it up at 6-6 and force a tiebreaker, first team to 7 points and win by two wins the match.
