Plymouth falls to #12 St. Joe

SOUTH BEND — The Plymouth Boys Tennis Team traveled to Leeper Park Thursday evening to take on the #12 state-ranked team in the state, South Bend St. Joe.  Plymouth battled both the heat and strong competition as the Pilgrims fell in straight sets in all the Varsity matches in a 5-0 final.

Zak Kresser was the most competitive match of the night, as he took three games off his opponent in the second set before falling at three singles.

“We schedule teams like St. Joe to be able to play against great competition,” said Plymouth coach Brad Haeck. “We didn’t compete as well on the scorecards as we had hoped tonight, but hopefully playing these quality teams will continue to make us better and see what we have to improve on to play at a higher level.”

Plymouth’s Varsity/JV plays Triton on Wednesday. The Varsity will travel to Triton for their match starting at 4:30 p.m., while the JV team will host Triton for a 4:30 p.m. start at the Mary Beth Hunter Tennis Complex in Plymouth.
