"It felt good, definitely," James said. "Those guys had been playing for a long time, and it was a good feeling to get a win against such a good pair."
Freshman Ryan Gormley has started his rookie season winning three consecutive matches while posting a 7-2 record for the year.
Facing three teams in one weekend will give the Lions ample opportunity to improve their play.
And. head coach Todd Doebler is drooling at the chance to gain some more important experience.
"We are looking forward to playing three matches in two days," he said. "This weekend will give our players a chance to improve themselves not only on their technical play, but on their physical play as well."
Doebler will also face off against his former mentor this weekend, coaching against his alma mater Bloomsburg. Doebler graduated from Bloomsburg in 1996, and excelled with the Huskies for four years.
He captured the conference doubles as well as team championships in 1994, and also won the singles, doubles, and team championships in 1995.
When asked about his thoughts on facing his old coach Marty Coyne, Doebler said he is excited to coach against him, but he was also very quick to send praises to his old mentor.
"Personally it will be an honor for me to coach against [Marty] Coyne," he said. "I've known him since I was thirteen years old, and he has definitely had a big impact on my life."
With three teams set to take down the Lions this weekend, the players are aware that they need to give a huge effort from start to finish, and never let down, especially against tough opponents.
"You need to focus on every point," James said.
"You always have to make sure you don't give up your lead. I think it's important to not only stick to your game plan, but make sure you adjust to your opponent if you need to."
