The Dragons were ready to go from the start and jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead on Cate before Ethan Bloom ’24 got his match turned around and put the first point on the board for the Rams.

His finish got the whole team going, and the second round was much better, with Cate winning two out of three points in both the singles and doubles.

Starting the third round, Cate needed four of the six points to tie Foothill Tech. The doubles finished before the singles, with the Dragons taking two out of three points, so the Rams needed to win all three singles points for the tie. In that case, the total games won by each team becomes the tiebreaker.

All three singles matches were very close, but Foothill Tech took two of the three, and the overall match was 11-7.
