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...

9-0 over PU Rams...


In a CACC match up of it's top 2 teams, we defeated Philadelphia University 9-0. It was a mighty cold day more suitable for skiing rather than tennis but we were able to get the job done and look pretty good doing it too.

The 2.5 hour ride each way was a bit more enjoyable with professor Boldarev administering a pop quiz on money and banking. The coaching staff passed with flying colors!

I am pretty sure that the players brought a solid effort today so as to spend as little time in the cold as possible and also to get home for a Saturday night's worth of entertainment.

We started with a quick sweep of the doubles as we played our starting lineup. The Rams usually play pretty good doubles so we expected to be tested. We needed the good play today to win 8-2, 8-4 and 8-0.

The singles went on and finished without us dropping a set. Geza contributed today with another 6-0, 6-0 victory. In addition, we, once again, had solid fan support from the Freys and Lindells. It is a pleasure to have them support us and it is so nice that they are able to witness their sons play the game that they love.

I didn't get much sleep and am pretty tired now. I really enjoyed the UK game last night and was too excited to sleep. I will gladly give up some more sleep tomorrow night if we can get into the Final 4 over UNC.


Anyway, we will travel back to Philadelphia on Monday to play USP in another CACC match. I can say for sure that it is nice that we only play a 6 match CACC schedule this season rather than the 12 last season...too much travel to and from Philadelphia.


The win puts our record at 10-2 (2-0 CACC). We hope to continue the winning ways going forward.
