Boys Varsity Tennis: Hebron suffered its first defeat of the season against an exceptional Berwick squad by a margin of 2-3.

Hebron 9th grader Mateo Alvarez put in a valiant effort against Maine's #2-ranked high school player, Gabe Natfoly, trading brilliant points and hanging tough for the first set, before succumbing  3-6, 0-6. On court 2, Sebastian Karam took a win for Hebron with a brilliant and hard-fought tactical match, defeating Berwick's Alex Penfold 6-3, 6-3. Hebron's doubles teams struggled yesterday, with Fernando Franco and David Balas losing track of a big early lead to lose the the third set tiebreaker in their #2 doubles match, 6-1, 0-6, 7-10. Diego Moreno and Santiago Naya also struggled to find rhythm against Berwick's #1 doubles squad, losing 1-6, 1-6. But the team's spirits were lifted in the end by the fighting spirit of Alfonso Lopez, as he hung tough, played smart, and systematically found a path to victory in a third-set tiebreaker over an inspired Berwick #3: 3-6, 6-3, 10-4.   

The team looks forward to Alejandro Rosello's return to health as we seek to field our top squad against Kent's Hill on Wednesday!
