St. Christopher's entered the 2010 Virginia Duals hoping to improve upon last season's 2-2 record and top six finish in the American High School Division. Entering the tournament as the number two seed, the Saints believed that reaching the finals was a definitely possibility, however Haddonfield, NJ had other plans. Winning five out of the first seven matches to build a 28-9 lead in the semi-finals, Haddonfield never looked back, winning the dual 36-25.
