The last match of the season proved to be a difficult one for the Centurions as they fell to Hart, 17-1.  

Saugus No. 2 Noah Fituci claimed the lone win on the day in the very last set being played. After being down 2-5, Fituci battled back to defeat Hart No. 3 Jack Burns 7-6 (8-6).  

From Saugus coach Bailey Sindle: “Noah has been an aggressive player all season. He never gives up, fights for every point, and works his opponents. He trains so much and it shows. He had two solid matches (earlier), so finishing off with Jack is challenging. Noah handled it well and I’m extremely proud of him.” 

Hart swept Saugus in doubles, 9-0.  

Sindle adds: “This was a hard last match for us, but the team had fun. I have five seniors this year, all of which are pivotal starters and I’m happy they had the opportunity to play and just enjoy the season.”
