Seahawks boys’ tennis flies over Cape 5-0
The undefeated Sussex Academy boys’ tennis team made the trip down Route 9 for a match against 3-0 Cape, and when then the dust settled, the Seahawks were alone at the top of the unbeaten net.
“Playing Cape is always a highlight in our season,” said Seahawks coach Lesley Eichten. “They have a roster of solid competitors this year. My guys played good matches today. I’m really proud of how they continue to grow as players and teammates.”
The first-singles match was won by Sussex Academy’s Jack Feinstein 6-0, 6-4 over Cape’s Nate Hoang. The Seahawks’ Jack Eichten took a second-singles win over Cape’s Sullivan Naden 6-1, 6-0. The third-singles match went to Sussex Academy’s Max Feinstein 6-1, 6-3 over the Vikings’ Cadien Juliano.
The first-doubles match was won by the team of Kieran Probert and Leo Benz 6-2, 6-1 over Cape’s Jackson Hess and Michael Gordon. Sussex Academy’s second-doubles duo of Charles Bowman and Arjun Verma won 6-4, 6-0 over Cape’s DeAngelo Jackson and Ace Crandell.
