West Deptford Boys’ Tennis Snaps Losing Streak

After weeks of juggling lineups, battling teams shorthanded and coming up short, the boys’ tennis team finally got things together and scored their first win of 2012.

The Eagles got a sweep at singles to beat Overbrook, 3-2, in a Colonial Conference match Wednesday.

Third singles player Brian Keane was the decider in the match; after falling behind to Overbrook’s Zack Moore, who took the first set, 6-4, Keane battled back to win the second and third sets, 6-4, 6-3, and clinch the win.

The Eagles got two-set victories from Steve Marchunt and Kai Narayanan, and the first doubles team of Jimmy Albert and Ethan Nicholas went to three sets before losing to Overbrook’s Greg Dawson and Mohammed Rony.

The win snaps an eight-match losing streak, but West Deptford will have to go right back into the breach, with Haddonfield looming on the road Friday.
