Summary

Exeter defeated Alvirne for the second time this season, 6-1, in a quarterfinal match in the Division I tournament.  Due to lighting, Exeter did not finish 2nd and 3rd doubles, although they were leading both by a comfortable margin.  Jack Tisdall put Exeter on the board first win a quick 8-2 win.  Ryan McGovern won at #6 singles, 8-1, to put Exeter up 2-0.  After victories from Corey Guen and Andrew Bridges at #2 and #3 singles, Exeter was one point away from clinching the match.  The fifth point came from Nathan Berner-Tobin as he won 8-4 at #5 singles.  The match provided a good opportunity to adjust to playoff tennis for Exeter, as there are more outside distractions than in the regular season.
