“This is what you work for, trying to beat the teams that are better than you,” said Staksrud.
“We’ve lost to them a few times and we’ve been going back to the drawing board, and then each time we’ve played them, we’ve gotten closer and closer every time,” added Rohrabacher.
In the end, it was one of the most exciting and energetic matches of the day.
The final score was 11-7, 8-11, 12-10 in favor of Rohrabacher and Staksrud.
