All Time Record vs. Wabash: 0-1Classic Matches:
2007; Wabash and Bethany Christian tie in Inaugural Wayne Tennis Invite
Both Wabash and Bethany easily dispatched opponents from FW Elmhurst and FW Wayne, and had split 4 positions between us headed into the last match of the day, the #2 doubles championship. Daniel Buschert and Matthew Amstutz won the first set, but fell in a second set tiebreaker and lost the third. We Wabash in points, but they took the trophy for winning 3 out of 5 against us.
2009; Wabash 3, Bethany Christian 2
This was a really great matchup, and it really came down to 2 great #2 singles players. Our #1 doubles played some of the best points they had all year, but couldn't beat a great team. Our #2 doubles definitely played their best, and won fairly easily. But it came down to a bad day for Ben Mast, as he dropped a third set tiebreak.

Top Returning JV Players:
We don't know, we didn't see their JV
Outlook: It all depends on their JV. The #1 singles match should be pretty even, and the players they have returning from #2 doubles were good players who weren't having a great day. So they bring back strong varsity contributors. The match should be close. It all depends on something that we don't know, how strong will the rest of the team be? All this means for us is that we will need to be focused, because winning this match and this tournament is a definite goal this year.
