HIMMELSBACH, MARIST

Himmelsbach has
been Marist's top performer so far this spring as they have gone up against
some of the top competition in the region.
He opened the spring season at the Harvard Invite, going against three
of the Crimson's top singles players and playing them all tough. Playing at the second singles position in
dual matches at NJIT and Ivy League powerhouse Columbia, he defeated his
Highlanders' opponent 6-3, 6-4 before forcing his opponent from Columbia to
three sets before falling 6-7, 7-6, 1-6.
Himmelsbach has also played at both the first and second doubles
positions this spring, winning two matches.
He defeated a pair from Harvard 8-2 and also salvaged the Red Foxes'
lone win against Columbia 9-8 (10-5).
