With a 3-0 hole, the Scots went out looking to play consistent tennis in singles. All six matches provided excellent hard-hitting action. Despite the solid play Tiffin was simply too good on the day. Fr. Justin Meyer (Warren Woods, MI/Warren Woods Tower) provided the Scots with their only win of the day battling his opponent over the course of three sets to a 7-5, 1-6, 10-6 win. Meyer?s consistent and high-energy play proved to be too much for his powerful opponent at #4 singles.
