Tigers lose to North Cross

The Varsity Tennis finished a roller coaster ride in their first week back from Spring Break. Following a win against Fishburne Military, an unseasonal and unexpected sleet storm swept in on Thursday, before the the sun finally broke through Friday afternoon as the Tigers welcomed the North Cross School (Roanoke, VA) Raiders to the Landon Tennis Center.

At the end of the day, all the Tigers were forced to concede their matches to a talented and determined Raider squad. Highlights for the Tigers included Haotian Liu (Beijing, China) at #4 singles 3-10, Rafael Tudela (Waleska, GA) at #5 singles 4-10, and #1 Doubles Dmitri Darroll and Dan Kim, 3-8.

Getting in exhibition play was Walter Kasica, Ryan Phillips, and Charles Mulligan.

Our next match is Tuesday, April 9 when we host Carlisle School.
