The Vineyard boys tennis team is on to the next round of the playoffs after sweeping Ludlow 5-0 Friday afternoon on their home court.
The second seeded Vineyarders almost entirely swept their opponents. First singles Jacob Riis won his match 6-1, 6-2. Second Singles Zak Potter won 6-0, 6-0, third singles Clyde Smith also won 6-0, 6-0. The first doubles pair of Teagan Myers and Caleb Dubin won 6-0, 6-0 and the second doubles team of Kert Kleeman and Kyle Levy won 6-0, 6-1.
Up next the boys take on Boston Latin Academy, the 15 seed who also swept their opponents in the opening round of the playoffs. The Dragons posted a 13-4 regular season record in the Boston City League. The date, time and location of the upcoming matchup are yet to be announced.
Earlier this week the girls tennis team won their first-round playoff game defeating Middleborough 4-1 Wednesday afternoon at home. Next up is the sweet 16 where they’ll play the winner of top-seeded Weston vs. Norton at a date yet to be determined.
In other playoff action Friday, the girls lacrosse team fell to Cape Cod Academy 20-4 on the Cape. During a season where there was uncertainty if there would be enough referees for the games to be held, the girls persevered under first year head coach Lacey Dinning and earned a spot in the playoffs. Despite the loss they still gained valuable postseason experience and have momentum to build on for next year.
The boys lacrosse playoff matchup is set for Monday at 4:30 p.m. in Rockland where they will take on the 11th seeded Bulldogs.
