Becahi tops Nazareth

Bethlehem Catholic High School's tennis team scored a 6-1 victory over Nazareth last week.

After three sets, Ben Tauber defeated Becahi's Niko Franekic at number one singles, 1-6, 6-0, 6-1.

At number two singles, Becahi's Ryan Schmidt defeated Calvin Carpenter, 6-3, 6-2.

"It went well [today]. I lost to him in three sets last year. He was pretty consistent, so I had to work the point of it, and when I got an opening, I went for winners," said Schmidt.

At number three singles, Becahi's Luke Mesko defeated Mike Fischler, 6-3, 6-4.

Later, Will Lyu and Mesko defeated Pat Carty and Fischler, 8-4, at number one doubles.

Becahi's Marcin Boraganli and Paolo Turco defeated Joey Ferraro and Mike Palmeri, 6-1, 6-4, at number two doubles.

In the first set, we were hitting good ground strokes, and my serve was on today," said Boraganli. "We were down 2-0 at the start of the second set and got back to 3-2, and then we just started trading games. They had good net play, and we had to adjust to that."

At number three doubles, Peter Demyan and CJ Horn defeated Sahil Arora and Joe Guagliardi, 6-2, 6-1, for the Hawks, and Chris Landolfi and Mike Mintzer defeated Hunter Chamberlain and Josh Ferraro at number four doubles, 5-7, 7-6, 10-6, also for the Hawks.
