The Notebook
In the Virginia Tech tournament, Blakely/Johnson teamed up to win the doubles competition. At Mary Washington, Blow/Johnson paired to win the doubles over Blakely/Whitney Wilson (Michigan State) in the final.
On the men’s side, Will Beck (Sr., Potomac, Md.) dominated the Virginia Tech tournament winning five matches without the loss of set on the way to the title. Beck paired with Nobuyoshi Tanaka (Longwood) to win four matches on the way to the doubles title. Trpimir Kujundzic (So., Zagreb, Croatia) advanced to the singles semifinals in the Virgina Tech tourney, while Zach Pine (Jr., Vienna, Va.) won two matches before being eliminated in the quarterfinals. The two paired in the doubles to advance to the semifinals.
Beck followed up his success in Blacksburg the next week at Mary Washington by winning three matches before falling, 6-4, 2-6, 1-0 (7), in the final against Tanaka.
