was very focused and came back from a few deficits. He came up big
and just wanted to make the championship."
In the championship, Das
defeated Goulet by a score of 6-4, 6-2 to claim the title.
"Kaushik really stepped
it up this weekend," said Ramamurthi. "He had a tough quarterfinal
but he battled through it. I was impressed with his attitude and
focus."
Goulet dropped No. 1
seed Eric Dove of Bloomsburg in a match that each participant
refused to lose. Goulet, with a 7-6 win in each set, won the
tiebreaker 7-5 in the first set before winning the final set 12-10.

Golden Bear for the second time in the individual tournament. He
knocked off
