The girls’ team dominated Webb 7-0, while the boys’ team dropped a close 3-4 decision that came down to a tiebreaker. Boys’ team highlights included wins at #3 singles (Martin Brodsky) and #4 singles (Dylan Bruscato), as well as a #2 doubles victory from Brodsky and Bruscato. The girls’ team dropped only 6 games total on the day out of seven matches.

On April 10, the SAS middle school boys’ and girls’ teams hosted Westwood Middle School. Both teams took control early and never looked back.
