Tiger coach Jack Olwell shuffled his lineup but couldn't come up with a winning hand in a 7-0 Missota Conference loss to Shakopee Thursday, Sept. 15, at the Boeckman Middle School courts.
"Sometimes when you have a lineup change the desired results don't materialize," Olwell said, "but I thought it was worth a try because we were already missing two of our top ten players. We will likely try this again before the season's end."
The talented Sabers, upset winners over state-ranked Chanhassen last week, dominated in both singles and doubles play. No Tiger entrant managed to win more than one game in a set.
"We were a bit flat," Olwell said, "but the good thing was that three new players got their first varsity experience."
