Closer Than It Seems

In a match that was closer than the final score indicates, the Martlets fell to the Pelicans 1-6 at Loomis Chaffee's version of the Kohn Squash pavilion. Alex Unruh '22 won in three hard-fought games at No. 1 (7, 8, 7). The rest of the Martlets came up just a little bit short. Khalil Walker '19 split his first two games at No. 2 before falling at (7) and (9) in games three and four. Sean Gregg '22 battled hard at No. 3, losing (6), (6) and (10). The same was true for Nate Londal '19 at No. 4. Londal lost at (8) and (10) in the first two games. At No. 5 Sam Pagon '21 rebounded from two 6-11 losses to win the third game 11-8 before falling 5-11 in the fourth game. Nate Swift '19 lost 12-14 and 11-13 in games two and three of his match at No. 6 while Ethan Na '19 came back from a 2-0 deficit to know his match at 2-2 before losing 7-11 in the final game. All in all, the Black and Gold fought hard and learned some valuable lessons heading into the final two matches of the season and then the New England tournament in Newport, Rhode Island in a week and a half.
