Tiger boys’ tennis tops Falcons for fifth victory

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ tennis team put together another strong outing on Monday, dodging a few raindrops on the way to a 7-0 defeat of visiting North Country.
The result pushed the Tigers’ record to 5-2, and Coach Ken Schoen noted their two losses — at U-32 last week and in their opener to Colchester without No. 1 player Jesse Rubin — both came by 4-3 scores and included individual matches decided by tiebreakers.
“The boys are having a good season,” Schoen said. “The two losses were as close as it gets in tennis.”

Individually, he said, everybody on the team has played well, and the top singles substitute, Joseph Whitley, has gone 4-0 when spotting in between Nos. 3 and 5 on the ladder. Meanwhile, the two doubles teams are undefeated.
“This is a deep team that is competitive at every position,” Schoen said.
With heavy weather threatening and some rain falling mid-match, on Monday Schoen and his North Country counterpart agreed to a “pro-set” format in which the athletes played one set to eight games instead of two sets to six games apiece.
The results in the individual matches were:
•At No. 1 singles, Rubin (MUHS) defeated Nick Bliss (NC), 8-4.
•At No. 2 singles, Spencer Doran (MUHS) defeated Connor Davis (NC), 8-3.
•At No. 3 singles, Sam Daly (MUHS) defeated Colin Archer (NC), 8-3.
•At No. 4 singles, Hunter Munteanu (MUHS) defeated Derek Medley (NC), 8-5.
•At No. 5 singles, Drew Kiernan (MUHS) defeated Chris Johnson (NC), 8-2.
•At No. 1 doubles, Andy Giorgio and Abel Anderson (MUHS) defeated Evan Tremblay and Andrew Charbonneau (NC), 8-0.
•At No. 2 doubles, Aiden Cole and Oliver Poduschnick (MUHS) defeated Max Roberts and Conlon St. John (NC), 8-4.
