Hans Leong dropped the number 1 singles match in straight sets and Leong and Jared Smith were beaten in straight sets at number 1 doubles. The Governors did not win a single set in the match. Against Brandon Valley both Leong and number 2 singles Nathan Ellenbecker were winners in straight sets and Leong and Smith won the only doubles match the Govs won at number 1. Pierre won matches at number 1 and 2 singles, number 4 and number 6. The Governors return to the court Thursday when they travel to Aberdeen to face Aberdeen Roncalli for the first time this season and Aberdeen Central for a second time.
