The River Trails 1 team wanted this win. Their Open team who was solidly in 4th until the last match of the season was knocked out of the playoffs by College Park East. Their 4.0 team who was in the finals against Midtown-Palatine just suffered a loss. They didn’t want to go back to their club empty-handed. They wanted to win. They knew they needed to try to win in 2 sets because if the matches were tied, it would come down to sets. The top court won decisively, then came the next courts – loss at court 5, win at court 2, win at court 6, win at court 4. They had WON. Back Row (L-R): Don Ferris, John Mistro, Steve Weinstein, Kevin Buggy, Barry Dempsey, Marius Biernacki, Clint Newbold, Tom Valverde Front (L-R): Ryan Vasey, John Song, Robin Kiamco, Herb Eng, Brad Wilson
