Indoors Part 2

Claremont versus Gustavus- This should also turn out to be a really interesting match. Gustavus goes into the tournament the defending champions and they obviously have much more experience on their notoriously fast courts. A big thing for CMS is whether they will be able to quickly adjust from the slow outdoor courts to the quick indoor ones. The most interesting matches will be at 1 singles and 1 doubles. In doubles, the matchup of Kauss/Burdakin vs Schils/Wang should be a great one and will set the tone for the whole match. Also, current #1 Kauss will go off in singles against Wang who has a game built for indoor courts. I think that in order for Gustavus to win this they're going to have to sweep 3 doubles, which is quite possible for this team.

Emory versus Mary Washington- The great 1-2 punch of James and Loden is going to be offset by an even stronger combination of 1 and 2 from the Goodwins. Emory just matches up way to well with this team---they are simply stronger in the positions that Mary Washington counts on winning. That said, Mary Washington still fights all the way down and I don't think they will get blanked. Their biggest chance of getting on the board is probably at 6 singles and 2/3 doubles, and while they are certainly not favored in those spots I think they will be able to squeak out with a win or two.
