Erik Sellgren and John Thomas (No. 4) defeated Mychel Gillette and Mike Moritz 6-0, 6-3.


"They all did a fantastic job," said Coach Boyd Stuwe. They showed lots of confidence and determination and never let North Marion back into the game."

Two days later the Outlaws had a skeleton team going into their match with Madras. Almost half of the squad was gone due to spring vacation, but Sisters still managed to squeeze out a 4-3 win.
