Ryan Lays Out to Lift Martlets

The Martlets knew this would be another close match. It was. Choate took an early lead, winning at #2, #4 and #6. Although it was 0-3, Andrew Doucette's ’18 match was very close. Connor Seeley '18 took a game and played well but came up short as well. Khalil Walker '19 took his opponent to five games and ended up losing 2-3 and 40 points to 41. It can't get much closer. Chanler Miller '18 won in three games, celebrating his new position on the ladder with his third victory in a row. Aly Tolba '18 won again, extending his streak from last season. Nate Swift '19 played spirited, intense squash, showing bursts of speed and touch. He had two game points in the third game but couldn't convert. With his loss the score stood 2-4 with Sean Ryan '18 still on court. Ryan split the first two games and hung on in the third game for a tiebreaker win. His energy depleted, Ryan let the fourth game get away. Before the fifth game he wondered what he'd done wrong. Coach Peter Doucette said nothing; he just had to get back in front now that he had his wind back. With all of the lower teams watching, Ryan showed the whole gallery what Grit and Grace really means. Down match point against a player who seemed to hit delicate drops from anywhere in the court, Ryan laid out to pick up a low ball on the right wall. He lay on the floor without his racquet and his opponent hit a drop to the left wall that stayed up. Somehow Ryan rose and got that one back too. After a few more spectacular gets, Ryan finished the point and then won two more and threw his racquet down again, this time in euphoria. The gallery erupted in cheers. Final team score 3-4, but Ryan made both teams feel like winners with his fabulous display.
