With the game on the line, Jon Fisher had to step up.
Jon Fisher went through a 10 point tie-break with Eric Kan of Mt. San Antonio College; Fisher lost his previous two matches with him.
Kan would catch Fisher in the tie break, but Fisher would hold on to win the tie break 12-10. However, it wasn’t enough as EC lost 5-4 last Thursday at Mt. SAC.
EC’s next game is this Tuesday, as they play against Long Beach City College at 2 p.m.
“In singles, Lassu started off flat losing the first set 6-4, but suddenly showed up and stormed through his second set with the score of 6-2 and finishing him off with the 10 point tie-break score of 10-3,” Robertson said.
No. 2 starter Andrew Sarawasi won 7-5 aa his opponent had to default late in the second set because of injury.
“Sarawasi started off his singles slow but he won the first set and was ahead in the second set before his opponent pulled his groin and defaulted,” Robertson said.
EC finished singles matches at 3-3 against Mt. SAC and had a chance to win the others.
“Our singles could have gone our way, but we were tied (at three) going into doubles, our no. 3, 5 and 6 lost their singles,” Robertson said.
Lassu and Sarawasi won their doubles match by a score of 6-3 and 6-0.
“I am excited to see them fight through tough matches,” Robertson said, “If we stay healthy we will be a force to reckon with.”
