"Sebastian was close to clawing his way back into the match in the second set, but just couldn't turn the corner," UCI head coach
Mike Saunders said. "Staggs played very offensive and only made a handful of errors. His 1-2 punch was on and didn't give Sebastian much to work with in the first. Sebastian will bounce back strong and get ready for regionals."
