the lines are still good

Follow the happenings of an animated college tennis coach and his teams in their pursuit of an NCAA National Tennis Championship. It is always the impressive trophy that is displayed for all to admire that gets the attention, but it is the journey to claiming that trophy, the relationships built, the people served and the memories created, that live forever...and what I hope you will find interesting...

We are streaking...

In the words of Frank "The Tank" from Old School, "come on...we're streaking." Yes indeed, after a disappointing loss to St. John's University last week we are back to our winning ways.

Our fourth win in a row was registered Monday 4/12 versus Queens College, ranked #2 in the NCAA II East Region. Sadly, we really didn't display our best effort and best tennis, yet we were still able to come up victorious 8-1 (click here for boxscore). Queens did come ready to play and should be commended for their energy and effort, but I was quite upset with our level of interest in the match. We will certainly need to apply ourselves, both coaches and players, if we are to do anything special in the weeks to come.
Today we extended the winning streak to five with a lop-sided victory over Post 9-0 (click here for boxscore). This extends our CACC record to a perfect 11-0. I am sure that this will please Kasper and that he will likely post a hearty congratulations to us on Facebook.
In other news, Alex Grubin was named CACC Player of the Week and Andreas Lindell was named CACC Rookie of the Week for the third time. Congratulations to both players.
We will be back on the courts this weekend as we will travel to Amherst to play last year's NCAA III runner-up on Saturday. With little rest, we have a double-header scheduled for the next day, Sunday, featuring our last CACC match versus the University of the Sciences in the morning, followed by NCAA I Bryant University in the afternoon.
With any luck, the beautiful spring weather will continue and plenty of you will stop by the MTC to watch some of the good tennis. As always, pop by and visit Coach Dano.
