The lineup was different today, with the singles matches played first, and the entire game down to the doubles point. Juniors Miles McDowall and Charlie Croxford continued their domination in the number three singles spot, clinching the win and securing the most points for the team today overall as individuals.
 
"Starting with singles really was different for us," said head coach Tim Dean. "We let a few opportunities in singles slip, but James really played well in his singles match. Miles and Charlie Croxford also came up with some great wins in singles."
 
He added, "After being tied 3-3 after singles, we knew what we had to do in doubles. It was a real good match. Croxy and Miles clinched the doubles point in a set tie-breaker clinching the match 4-3. Flo and James seem to be back on course in doubles, helping us secure the point for the win. I'm proud of how the men responded to the rescheduled matches this week."

With the regular season now concluded, Green Bay (11-9, 5-2 HL) will look to compete in the 2018 Horizon League Championships, hosted in West Lafayette, Indiana at Purdue University. The championship will begin April 27th and go through the 29th. The official tournament bracket will be released on Sunday (April 22) night.
