After a slow start, Kehrer found his rhythm and ultimately secured a hard-fought victory in a tiebreaker.
Bobotas also faced a tough opponent in Spencer Sponhouse, but managed to dominate the first set before facing a comeback from his opponent in the second. However, Bobotas stayed focused and ultimately sealed the deal in a decisive third set, maintaining his undefeated record for the season.
Overall, Montoursville displayed their depth and talent throughout the match, with strong performances from their doubles teams and Catino securing his first singles win of the season. Coach Shawn Gardner praised the team’s overall performance and depth, highlighting their ability to control the match and showcase their skills.
With six matches left in the regular season, Montoursville looks to build momentum heading into the postseason, while Williamsport aims to establish their own momentum after a tough loss.
