"I'm really happy for Mike," said
Chris Drake, the Cary Leeds Head Coach of the Bulldogs. "He beat a really tough player today that is one of the best players in the tournament. He really committed to his game and executed well under pressure. He's got another tough match tomorrow so hopefully he can recover after two physical matches today and compete well again in the quarterfinals."
