NA’s 10-Match Winning Streak Snapped by Fox Chapel
After opening the 2019 season on a 10-match winning streak, the Tigers played the three-time defending AAA WPIAL Champion Fox Chapel Foxes in an exhibition match Thursday afternoon on the NASH courts.
Showing their dominance, the senior laden Foxes prevailed 5-0. Two matches went the three-set distance, including Soureesh Moturi at two singles and Mark Chuirazzi/Jerry Huang at one doubles.
The loss moves the needle on the Tigers’ record to 10-1 overall but they retain a 6-0 mark in Section 2 play. They look to run the table in Section 2 Friday afternoon against the North Hills Indians. Due to the threat of inclement weather, the match has been moved indoors to the PURE Athletex facility with a start time of 1:30 PM.
