HOW IT HAPPENED
- In doubles play, the closest match for the Ravens came from Daniel Garcia (Almeria, Spain) and Orlando Guerrero (Pachuco, Mexico), who battled in a tightly contested match against the Skyhawks' Benjamin Beaudry and Javier Gutierrez. The pairs exchanged games in a back-and-forth battle before the Ravens duo narrowly fell, 6-7.
- The Ravens then moved into singles competition. At #6 singles, Garcia bounced back and earned a straight-sets victory over Gutierrez, giving the Ravens their first point of the day.
- Mathias Bonnefond (Chateauroux, France) added another win at #5 singles. After dropping the opening set to Beaudry, Bonnefond mounted a comeback, taking the second set and carrying the momentum into the third to secure the match victory.
- Roman Gonzalez (Barcelona, Spain) and Martin Dominguez (Vigo, Spain) also delivered strong performances, each forcing a third set in their respective singles matches. However, both ultimately came up just short in their final sets.
UP NEXT FOR THE RAVENS: The Ravens will look ahead to their first NE10 match at home, hoping to take down the visiting Falcons of Bentley University on Saturday, October 4th.
