Overall: 13-2       Conference: 9-0

 

The Beavers traveled to Chabot to face off against the playoff-bound Gladiators. TJ Aukland and Dylan King played inspired tennis at the #3 doubles position, earning the 8-2 victory. #1 and #2 doubles were both close matches that came down to the wire, each being decided by a late break. Cody Duong and Alex Meliuk were able to pull away at the end of their match for the win at #1, but Seppi Capaul and Justin Barton were broken late and lost at #2. Going in to the singles up 2-1, ARC put on dominating performances at #1 (Alex Meliuk), #2 (Cody Duong), #3 (Seppi Capaul), and # 5 (TJ Aukland). Justin Barton (#6) was also able to battle back from a set down to earn the 3-set victory 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. The 7-2 victory was earned with key player Sean McDaniel out with an elbow injury. They look to be at full strength when they travel to Diablo Valley on March 26 for their final conference match of the season.
