Final Results

Led by a singles championship in the A flight by Ondrej Skokan (Pardubice, Czech Republic/Gymnazium Dasicka 1083), Lourdes wrapped up a successful weekend at the Comet Invitational hosted by Capital on Saturday afternoon at Wolfe Park in Columbus, Ohio.
 
"It goes without saying that we've settled into a groove, and a deep one, already in this season," head coach Epifani Jones said afterwards.  "Winning 32 of 37 matches in a matter of four days is a tremendous amount of momentum to carry us through the fall, and we have yet to work out the nuances of positions and partnerships.  The intensity provided by our freshman was highlighted by Ondrej winning the top flight, Theo Casadei making his debut as a Gray Wolf, and Cody Keller's dramatic saving of four straight match points in his final efforts. And there is more to come."
 
Skokan won the A flight with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over teammate Victor Dieltiens (Altea, Spain/Sint Eduardus [Belgium]) in the title match.  Theo Casadei (Annecy Le Vieux, France/CNED) took third in the same flight.
 
Alvaro Trillo-Sanchez (Madrid, Spain/Churchill County [Nev.] H.S.) finished runner-up in the B flight, falling to Capital's Luke Ritchie 6-1, 6-2 in the championship.
 
Skokan also teamed with Casadei for an 8-2 triumph in doubles action on the final day while Niladri Aich (Cooch Behar, India/Maumee Valley Country Day [Ohio] H.S.) and Cody Keller (Oregon, Ohio/Clay H.S.) teamed for a victory as well by the score of 8-3.
 
Lourdes will return to action on Sept. 20 for a dual match at Wittenberg.  Action is slated to begin at 4 p.m. at the Albright Tennis Complex in Springfield, Ohio.
