Sometimes a whole match comes down to one court—and this one belonged to 2 Doubles. Coach Steve Grim called it early, and he was right. Seniors Matt Sikkema and junior Reeyen Patel had everyone on the edge of their seats. After grinding through a first-set tie-break and saving the second set in another, the match point ended on a mis-hit that drifted just long. Tennis can be cruel, but this time the bounce went our way. As they say: luck favors the prepared.
