Providence loses to Jeff

In the first match of the season the Pioneers lost to the Red Devils on Jeffersonville's home courts. Jeff has one of the better number one singles players in the state and he won over Pete Andres.

Providence has had to replace four of the top eight players from last year's squad and three players playing in their first varsity match against the always strong Jeff team.

Travis Cunningham was the lone winner for the Pioneers at Number 2 singles, winning a match that went three sets and more than three and one-half hours. Two of the sets went to a tie break. Travis dropped the first set in a tie breaker and proceeded to win the second set at 6-2, he won the third set also in a tie breaker.

Senior Jacob Kraft lost in straight sets, with a close second set. The number 1 doubles team of Nick Primavrera and Brenden Popson lost in straight sets as did the number 2 doubles team of Nick Finn and Drew Thomas. Both doubles matches were close.

Number two singles in JV was won by Joe Solis in straight sets and number one doubles of Steven Cabezas and Jacob Samples won in three sets.

The next match will be on Thursday at Providence home courts of Community Park in New Albany at 5 PM.
