Squires Down Trojan Tennis

In a final tuneup before the Hoosier North Athletic Conference tournament, Triton took on Manchester Tuesday afternoon. The Squires weren’t in a giving mood, rather taking a 4-1 final in North Manchester.

In a matchup of fine players on the singles court, Manchester’s Max Karg brought it in a 6-0, 6-1 win against Gavin Eads at No. 1. Triton’s Mace Eads had similar success on the No. 2 singles court, winning 6-1, 6-1 against Spence Trick. Manchester’s Parker Wagoner won the No. 3 court by forfeit.

Manchester’s No. 1 doubles team of Noah Cain and Matthew Pegg continued its strong season with a love and love win against Dalton Bailey and Chase Butler. Heath Dierks and Luke Donathan also had a fine night by winning one and one against Keygan Moiser and Aaron Stichter at No. 2 doubles.

Manchester improves to 9-4 overall while Triton settles at 6-10.

Triton will take to the HNAC tournament Wednesday.
