Since the MN site doesn't list the OSU names, can someone tell us who is in which match?
Click to expand...

#1 singles just finished with OSU claiming the 2nd point of the match!
#4 also finished, I assume it is Allare, with the 3rd point.

not confident about how Ty assembled the single's lineup:
1 or 2, Buchanan or Rola
3 or 4, Allare, Vanegelen, or McCarthy.
5 or 6 , McCarthy Novak or Vick.

The variable is at #3, VanEngelen,
