After sweeping the doubles,  #1 player Steve Johnson led the Trojans through singles to capture their 12 win on the year. His 6-1, 6-2 victory over #12 ranked Austen Childs is yet another impressive win for Steve who might be well on his way to successful pro career, which is every young tennis players dream.
