USHA/Simple Green Pro Handball Stop #6

Minneapolis, Minn.- David Chapman may have hit some bumps in the road on his way to the finals; but once there, it was smooth sailing for the No. 1 player on the tour. Chapman easily handled Vince Munoz in the final of the USHA/Simple Green Pro Stop #6, 11-5, 11-6, and 11-2 to win his fifth Pro Stop of the season. It was another classic performance by Chapman, who took advantage of his opponent's tired legs due to his five-game semifinal match with Paul Brady. Munoz fought to stay in the match in the first two games, but ultimately he couldn't keep pace with Chapman, who looks to be ready to defend his Four-Wall National Singles Title.

In the consolation final, Tommy Little defeated Chris Tico in a tiebreaker to earn valuable ranking points. The player rankings after the last stop will help determine the draw for the USHA National Four-Wall Tournament. Pro Stop #6 was held in conjunction with the Minnesota Spring Handball Classic. Usually, a tournament that requires Minnesota residence; players from other states and Canada were able to participate in the state tournament this year since it was held in conjunction with a Pro Stop. Tournament Director Matt Hiber did not allow his duties to effect his play as he won the Open Singles title over Joe Hagen. A special thank you goes to Matt Hiber, Sheldon Silberman, the U of M Rec Center Staff, and the Minnesota State Handball Association for an excellent weekend of handball and hospitality.
