BREMEN — Was there ever any doubt?
Plymouth grabbed its 15th straight sectional crown Saturday, beating host Bremen 4-1 at DeSantis Courts. The championship represented the program’s 22nd overall.
“Plymouth’s just a great team and has a great coach,” said Bremen Head Tennis Coach Andrew Rohde. “They just come out to play every single match. They’re a great program so there’s no shame in losing to Plymouth. We’re not giving up or anything, we’re going to keep fighting. Our guys came out, and they played well, but Plymouth’s just a better team and they got us today.”
