HOW IT HAPPENED

- In singles, the Firebirds would lock up the victory in short order, taking the first three singles bouts of the evening to secure the win. Saavedra would nearly bring home a victory for the Red and White after dropping his first set 7-5. The junior would storm back in the second set for a one sided 6-1 win but fell in the tiebreaker, as Carthage would go take the rest of the singles matches in a shutout.
