Last week the team played three more matches, prevailing in two. Yellow Springs took all courts from Spring Valley academy. Knemeyer commanded the �rst court with a 6–2,6–1 win. At second singles, Nick Miller-Jacobson �nished his opponent off in a three-set match serving up a blazing ace for the �nale. Gabe Day dominated with a 6-1,6-2 win at third singles.
