(Silver Spring, MD/Gonzaga) in the first set, 6-0, only to
have Ortiz battle back to capture the second set, 6-2. Holbrook

The Red Devils (9-5) won the remaining four singles matches in
straight sets.
Goucher's Wynn Thane (Chambersburg, PA/Mercersburg
Academy) and Ortiz fell behind Whit McFarlane and Eric
Schroeder, 7-2, at first doubles and then won four straight games
before the Dickinson duo completed an 8-6 victory.
