STOUGHTON — The Monroe Cheesemakers took fourth place overall, scoring 14 points at the Stoughton Tennis Invitational on Saturday, Aug. 30. The Cheesemakers finished closely behind the top three teams, Milton, Oregon, and Lodi. They were actually tied for the most wins on the day, but Monroe needed a few more first round wins to get over the hump of points in the event.
Mads Joseph provided the Cheesemakers the biggest highlight of the day as she took first place at No. 4 singles.

“I credit our players for not giving up and continuing to fight and make adjustments, said Cheesemakers coach Matt Bordner. “We talk in practice all the time about how different tennis is compared to other sports with scoring, as having a totally fresh new 2nd set opens up a match to totally swing a different direction than how the first set went.”
