"We must make improvements every day," Penegor continued. "We did play well at #1 doubles in the best and most competitive matchof the day.We also had wins at #3 and #4 singles, where Cody (Stevens) moved up a spot and Tommy (Mayveille) got his first varsity singles win. So, I am happy for them and hope it helps their confidence through the season." Stevens and Mayville both won in straight sets, while the doubles team of Brandon Kangas and Adam Claes won a three-set nailbiter.
