NorthWood Preview


Details: September 11, 2009 at 4:30 PM. To be played at Bethany Christian High School.

Last Season Review: Last season we defeated NorthWood 3-2 during the regular season on their courts. In the Sectional Final, we won 4-1 to win Bethany Christian's first boy's tennis Sectional title!

NorthWood Details: To say NorthWood is struggling this season would be obvious. With their 4-1 loss to Goshen last night, NorthWood is 0-7 on the season and 0-4 in their conference. Unfortunately, they've also only won one position this year, as their #1 singles player has picked up two victories (over Bremen and Goshen). It has been a massive swing for the Panthers this year, from two Sectional titles and a Sectional finals appearance to a winless year so far.

Bethany Christian Details: We come in to this match with a 9-2 record. I used to be able to say our losses came to top 25 teams, but Concord has fallen out of the rankings. We are continuing to gain confidence and belief, and I hope that progress continues tonight.

Projected Matchups:
#1S - Ben Mast (BC) vs. Miro Arguijo (NW)
#2S - Seth Krabill (BC) vs. Corey Diener (NW)
#3S - Mikey Kelly (BC) vs. Ben Zercher (NW)
#1D - Kyle Miller/Austin Loucks (BC) vs. Tyler Rhoades/ Jayson Linhart (NW)
#2D - Russell Klassen/Nick Rebec (BC) vs. Brennan Angle/Shawn Stahly (NW)

Outlook: Again, this is a match that we should win. Unfortunately, NorthWood is very down this year and we hope that their program picks up again soon. It is good for us to have difficult and competitive matches within our Sectional. We will hopefully continue to improve tonight, in our focus and in our strokes, and come away with another win.
