Post date: Mar 30, 2019 6:23:26 AM

Boise hit the road this morning for a trip to Eastern Idaho.  After a stop for lunch and Twin Falls and driving through rain/snow we arrived to a dry, but cold and windy Idaho Falls.  We hit the courts immediately and our Braves played fantastic.  Here are some highlights from the match:

Iggy Mullin continued his winning ways at singles with a second straight 6-0, 6-0 win.

Tessa Staley and Nick Lubamersky teamed up for the second straight day also winning in dominant fashion. 

Halle Dingel played a terrific match.  Fighting through an ankle injury and losing the first set, she stormed back to take the second set 6-1 and dominated the tiebreaker for the 3rd set 10-5.

Liam Gibson and Peter Bard also came back after losing the first set.  They stayed mentally tough to rally back from 3-5 in the third set to win 7-5.  

The final match of the day pitted Erik Vettergren and Allison Gabelman against the Thunder Ridge mixed team.  Like many of their teammates they came back after losing a tight first set.  They battled back to win the second set in a tie-breaker, then as the last light of the day was fading they pulled off a 11-9 win in the tie-breaker for the 3rd set.  

Player of the Match goes to Liam Gibson.  He put away some tremendous volleys and never gave up in his match.
