WASHINGTON —
Washington blanked Princeton, 5-0, in a Big Eight Conference match at Lena Dunn courts Thursday.

Winning doubles for the Hatchets were: Matthew Pancake-Tyler Stoll, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1; and Jonathon Harner-Jacob Luttrell, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1.
“I am proud of the team and the strides they are making,” Washington coach Jason Johnston said. “Lucas is learning what it takes to win at the high school level. Cory maintained a lead throughout. Garrett lost his first service game, but never lost another game.
“After losing the first set, Tyler and Matthew figured out how to return the Princeton serve,” Johnston said. “Jacob and Jon got off to a rough start. After set one, they figured placement and playing smart was the way to go.”

IU still working towards sixth banner
Monday night in Atlanta, Louisville won the school’s first National Championship since the year I was born - 1986. This accomplishment is significant to Indiana basketball fans, because the last two times the Cardinals cut down the nets (1980, 1986), the Hoosiers did it the following year. The stat, of course means nothing, other than both schools had strong programs in the 1980s.
