REDLANDS, Calif. -- In a rematch from the DIII national tournament last year, Redlands got the upper hand on the Bruins once again. The match resulted in a 5-2 loss, but the Bruins still fought hard and produced a couple of competitive matches. 

How It Happened
Fox started their evening off strong with a 2-1 victory in the doubles matches. Two of the three matches went to extra games as the Bruins had a strong showing. Lars Schmassmann and Ikuho Ebisu won their match in the top spot 7-5, and Jackson Whittaker and Luis Hernandez squeaked out the 7-6 victory to secure the point. Zach Moore and Keita Shoji rounded the matches out for the Bruins, dropping the No. 2 doubles 6-3. 

In singles matches, the Bulldogs showed why they are a top-30 team in the nation, winning five of the six available points. Whittaker was the lone win for the Bruins, securing the dub in a tight one 2-6, 7-6, 1(10) - 0(7) The rest of the matches were handled by Redlands, winning their matches all in two sets. Schmassmann dropped his match 6-2, 6-4, Moore lost 6-4, 6-3, Ebisu lost 6-2, 6-2, Shoji dropped his match 6-1, 6-0, and Hernandez rounded things off with a 6-2, 6-3 defeat. 

Despite the result, the Bruins still put up a fight against the Bulldogs. They held on and only got swept in one of their sets, and Moore played fantastic despite dropping his singles match. The team has a lot to build on as they head into their day off tomorrow, March 26th.
