Mike Sowter was very pleased with Mauritzson and de Macar's performances, particularly in their upset victory over Princeton on Friday.
"I'm really pleased for Lutwin and Fabian," Sowter said. "They have good chemistry, work exceptionally hard, and have had some good results together this fall. It's not often that you win back-to-back matches against Ivy League opponents."
