``Of course, they are the best team we faced,'' Hart doubles player Ankur Sachdeva said. ``They are the only one we lost to.'' Hart could have added something else to its resume with a victory, becoming the first Foothill League team since Valencia in 2002 to reach the Div. II quarterfinals. Each Hart player won at least one set Saturday, but they were unable to win close matches. Two sets went to tiebreakers, and another three ended 7-5. Hart won only one of those five sets. ``Good teams win those matches,'' Hart coach Chris Mansfield said. San Marino's superiority showed in its handling of Hart's No. 1 player, Matthew Taoatao. He had not lost since March 21, a streak of 39 sets, but lost two of three to the Titans. The match started well for Hart. Its No. 1 doubles team, Sachdeva and Vishal Vashistha, and its No. 2, Kamron Pourkazemi and Preston Johnson, won its opening sets as the Indians split the first four matches. San Marino outscored Hart 9-5 the rest of the way. ``We lost to a good team today,'' said Taoatao, one of six players set to return next year. ``We had a good run.'' - Sean Martin Sean Martin may refer to:
