“It’s awesome,” Hebrink said. “It’s always nice to get a good win like that and for the team and it gives us a good push.”
Hebrink won his No. 3 singles match 6-3, 6-1 and he was the last Packer playing. He said its important to stay focused, even when all of the other matches are finishing up.
“You kind of want to just get done and beat up on them if you can,” Hebrink said. “You’ve got to take your time, stay patient and take your shots.”

“It feels pretty good to win,” he said. “Last week was so cold and it was perfect today. It was fun.”
