The Warsaw boys tennis home opener was spoiled by a very strong Penn team.

The Kingsmen, who return five lettermen from last season’s 18-8 team,  rolled to straight set wins on all five varsity courts to hand the Tigers the loss.

The Kingsmen got a 6-4, 6-2 win from Eric Spaargaren and Aiden O’Day at No. 1 doubles over the Warsaw team of Spencer Britton and Nolan Knight.

Penn completed the shutout as its No. 2 doubles team of Nick Cosetti and Maity Spitters beat Kyler Bartol and Reuben Williams 6-2, 6-3.

Penn won the junior varsity action by a 7-5 final.  Jarett Orr won in singles play for the Tigers. Also winning for Warsw were its doubles team of Jake Kaufman and Michael Ray, Brian Elliott and Hayden Anderson, Graham Landwerlin and Canton Waddle and Carter Schuh and Riley Dugger.

Warsaw, now 1-1, will play at Mishawaka Marian on Monday.
