SEQUIM — Sequim swept singles and captured No. 2 doubles without dropping a set to edge past archrival Port Angeles 4-3 in boys tennis action Wednesday.
The Roughriders won the other three doubles matches but had no answer to the Wolves’ singles strength.
“It seems like every time we play Sequim, it’s really close,” Port Angeles coach Brian Gundersen said.
Sequim, now 3-1 on the year, lost only 12 games in the three singles matches as the Wolves’ Donovan Lee defeated Alex Brown 6-3, 6-3 at No. 1.
At No. 2 singles, Isaiah Dewan dominated Jeremy Choe of Port Angeles by scores of 6-0, 6-1.
And at No. 3, Sequim’s Brandon Payne beat Nick Fritschler 6-0, 7-5 after Fritschler put on a spirited comeback in the second set.
Sequim wrapped up the team win as Saul Nava and Victor Lam held off Kevin Herzog and Micah Needham 6-4, 7-5 at No. 2 doubles.
The Riders made a match out of it by winning the other three doubles matches as Marcus Konopaski and Michael Konopaski defeated Eli Berg and Matthew Richards 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 in the marquee No. 1 doubles match.
Port Angeles also took No. 3 doubles as Brady Konopaski and Hayden Kays-Erdmann defeated Kevin Cassal and Dan Willis 6-3, 6-0, and No. 4 doubles as Daniel Manwell and Jace Bohman beat Royhon Agostine and Aran Burke 4-6, 6-1, 7-6.
Gundersen singled out his No. 4 doubles players Manwell and Bohman as the Port Angeles players of the match.
“Daniel and Jace got down early, but hung in there and pulled it out in the end,” Gundersen said.
Port Angeles next hosts Bremerton while Sequim travels to Klahowya in Silverdale today. Both matches start at 4 p.m.
