Unfortunately, Nason L. lost his first singles match (2-6, 6-7); however, Lucas X. and Jacob K. both swept their second and third singles opponents (6-0, 6-0). Ian C. and Rowen L. secured a 6-4, 6-2 victory in first doubles, and Sujay B. and Jayden T. completed the match with a 6-3, 6-7, 1-0 win in second doubles. 

The following day, the Vikings earned another three-game match victory against Wellington. Nason for first singles, as well as Lucas and Rowen for first doubles, both swept the Jaguars (6-0, 6-0). Similarly, Sujay won 6-0, 6-1 against his third singles opponent, securing a 3-0 win. 

The team’s last match before postseason was a clean sweep against Franklin Heights at home. Every game was won 6-0, 6-0, except for Ian and Jayden’s 6-1, 6-0 second doubles win. Nason, Jacob, and Bennett K. took on singles, and duo Lucas and Rowen conquered in first singles.
