Tigers breeze by Golden Tornado
by: Boys Tennis Contributor
The North Allegheny boys’ tennis team won their ninth straight match by blanking section foe Butler, 5-0 at the NASH tennis courts on Monday afternoon.
Junior Evan Kaufman made his second straight start at 2nd singles after returning from injury to defeat Ryan Conaway in record time, 6-0, 6-0. The win put the Tigers on the board first and also secured Kaufman “Man of the Match” honors. Shortly thereafter, the 1st doubles team of senior Nick Scheuring and junior Adhav Ramadas doubled the lead by silencing their opponents, 6-1, 6-0. As happens so often, the clinching point came off of the racquet of sophomore sensation, Advaita Sircar who blanked Andrew Bocci, 6-0, 6-0.
With the match decided, it was up to 2nd doubles to keep the shutout alive. The all-sophomore tandem of Shivum Telang and Ronit Ginde left no doubt by downing their Butler counterparts, 6-0, 6-0. With the home team up 4-0, all that was left to be decided was 3rd singles. Junior Anish Ramachandruni made sure to complete the sweep by cruising past Ryan Curry, 6-1, 6-1.
North Allegheny improves to 10-1 overall and 6-0 in the section. Butler falls to 1-6 overall and 0-5 in section play.
Next up, Sircar and Sri Thirumala will participate in the WPIAL Singles Championships that begin on Wednesday at the NASH tennis courts. It is Thirumala’s first trip to the singles tournament while Sircar is looking to defend his 2024 title. Matches begin at 11:00 AM.
