The Flames traveled down to Orlando, Fla. this past week to play three matches during Spring Break. Hulten answered the bell again posting a win at No. 4 singles defeating Marco Franco of Monmouth College, 6-3, 6-2 on Monday. Hulten again teamed with Jabaley to win at No. 3 doubles, 8-2 over Dylan Wong and Ronnie Griffin. The Flames won 8-1 over Monmouth.
Later in the day Lee would take on the University of the Sciences. Once again Hulten was victorious in both singles and doubles competition as the Flames blanked the Devils, 9-0. Hulten defeated Tajay McLeod 6-2, 7-6 (7-0) and won doubles with Jabaley, 8-2 over McLeod and Chandat Phan.Â
