The Wilmington High School tennis team secured its first victory of the season on Thursday, defeating Clinton-Massie 5-0 in an SBAAC American Division matchup. The Hurricane is now 1-1 overall and 1-1 in league play.

Why it matters

This win marks an important milestone for the Wilmington High School tennis program, as they look to build momentum and improve their record throughout the season. The team's performance against a young Clinton-Massie squad demonstrates their potential and competitiveness within the SBAAC American Division.

The details

Wilmington's coach, Steve Reed, said he 'shuffled the lineup just a bit' for the match, which resulted in some closer contests than the final 5-0 score might suggest.

In doubles play, the teams of Brennen Zeigler/Tyler Alsip and Giacomo Tritto/Ben Zerguit both won in straight sets.
