Martlets Fall to Kent
Fresh off a win versus Kingswood Oxford, the Martlets took to the home courts for a match against Founders League rival Kent. The match was close from start to finish and lasted close to two hours. Co-captain Khalil Walker '19 continued to impress, notching another five-game win at No. 2. Co-captain Nate Swift '19 earned his second straight victory with a 3-1 win, 12-10 in the fourth. Swift has taken his game up a level in both intensity and tactical awareness. Co-captain Nate Londal '19 was so close to making it a sweep in the first round. He was up 10-7 in game two and had game balls in game three, losing both in oversets. Coach Peter Doucette was imagining Londal up 2-1, even though the score was 0-3. Just a four point swing kept Kent from trailing 0-3. Sam Pagon '21 came out with great intensity taking the first game, but that was all he could manage. Ethan Na '19 took major control of his match with an 11-3 win in game four and then lost the thread in game five. His kill shots keep improving but he couldn't pull this one out. After Sean Gregg '22 had lost at No. 3, Na's loss sealed the match for Kent before No. 1 Alex Unruh '22 could finish his match. Unruh played great squash and had game balls to take his match to five games before suffering his first loss of the season. Kent played well and earned the win with spirited play up and down the ladder.

Hopkins Sweeps Westminster
After the earlier defeat against Kent, Westminster rested for an hour while Kent fell to Hopkins. This match was not close. Hopkins showed superior skills up and down the ladder. Ethan Na '19 earned seven points twice as did co-captain Nate Londal '19. Alex Unruh '22 was the only other player to surpass seven. Unruh did it in each game. He lost in a tiebreaker in game one and was leading 8-5 in game three before losing 9-11. Unruh hit some great cross-court nicks and competed well but still couldn't quite manage to get a game. Coach Peter Doucette was pleased with the gracious and tenacious play of the boys. They competed hard and enjoyed the challenge of playing strong players.
