Blue Devils sweep in opener

The Brockport Blue Devils boy’s tennis team didn’t lose a single set in a 7-0 win over Greece Olympia on a cold, windy April 9th afternoon in the season opening match for both teams. The Blue Devils lost five seniors from last year’s team, but are as deep as ever this season.

Seniors Jeff Pera and Tom Linhart won first and third singles 6-0, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-2 respectively while sophomore Kyle Burghardt lost just one set in his 6-0, 6-1 win at second singles. Freshman Vishal Anuga won his fourth singles match 6-1, 6-1.

Brockport had little trouble in the three doubles matches as well. Sophomores Devin Hogan and Grant Dimbleby won first doubles 6-0, 6-2 and Paul Stevens and Dave Maxim swept second doubles 6-1, 6-1. Third singles Mike O’Laughlin and Blaine Hastings won their first set 7-6 (7-2) in a tiebreaker before finishing the sweep 6-2.
