We have reached the mid point of our season. Our
overall team record stands at (7-2) and the OCIAA
Division III league play stands at (4-0). Two big
wins for Goshen came against Division II schools
Minisink Valley (4-3) and Warwick (5-2).
On April 13, we suffered our first loss in three
years to tough Division I team Monroe-Woodbury
(5-2). A second loss was a hard fought match against
Division I team Newburgh (4-3).
The younger players/newcomers have shown impressive
improvement while the top returning players maintain
consistency in their play. The team has acted as a
team, showing support for one another and giving
their all during each and every match.
Top players report:
- Doug
Finkelstein (1st Singles 8-1)
- Jared Lisack
(2nd Singles 8-1)
- Devin Valencia
(3rd Singles 8-1)
- Max
Mallow/Alex Valencia (1st Doubles 7-2)
The regular season
play should be completed by May 10. Team goals are
to win our division, see continued improvement in
all players, build confidence in the younger players
so they look forward to returning for next year’s
season, and last, but not least, to have the top
players feeling confident in their level of play to
enter into tournament play in the Counties and
Sectionals.
