Aubry and Snaider squared off in the “A” singles consolation final, with Aubry getting the victory. Christian Warnholtz advanced to the finals of the “B” singles flight, while Paulo Avila and Henrik Nordquist won the “B” doubles consolation.
“Thomas played great all weekend,” pointed out Limestone Head Coach Keith Turner. “He was down in the third set in both the semifinals and finals of his singles matches, but he gutted it out each time to come out with the victory. This is a huge accomplishment for Thomas and he’ll now be seeded in the ITA Regional this coming weekend back in Sumter. “Thomas and Philippe also played outstandingly in the doubles competition,” continued Turner. “They will also be seeded in doubles this weekend as well.” Limestone will compete at the ITA Regional in Sumter, S.C., on September 22-24. |
