Wolverine Tennis Gets First Win of the Season
The Bridgton Academy tennis team traveled to Hebron on a sunny but cold and blustery April day to face the Hebron Lumberjacks in a MAISAD match. Playing solid tennis up and down the lineup, the Wolverines moved to 1-2 on the season with a 5-0 victory.
The match was not as lopsided as the final score appeared, as three matches went to a third set and a fourth featured a tiebreaker. Featuring a shuffled line-up, #1 singles player Nick Thieme outlasted a game AJ Bloomingdale, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 in a well-played match. At #2 singles, Rob Lundberg rode his big serve and some strong groundstrokes to beat Inigo Nieves, 6-2, 7-6, while Nick Osgood enjoyed the shortest match of the day, dispatching Hebron’s Dan Kim, 6-4, 6-2.
The doubles matches provided some good entertainment, as the #1 team of Matt Hill and Dave Martin, pairing for the first time, stretched to defeat Brett Bisesti and Tom Pagnozzi, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. At #2 doubles, Sam Davis and Julian McClain earned a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 win to close out the match.
The Wolverines will look to even its record on Tuesday afternoon with its first home match, against Fryeburg Academy, at 3:30.

April 9th--Wolverine Netters Play Well, Drop Opener
The Bridgton Academy tennis team traveled to Gould Academy to take on the Huskies on Wednesday, April 9th. Facing the preseason MAISAD favorites outside on a cold April afternoon, the team played well, but lost 4-1. Despite the score, several of the matches were quite close, and left both coaches with a sense that this year’s squad can enjoy a successful campaign. At first singles, Matt Hill played very well in a loss to last season’s MAISAD singles finalist, Dachuan Zhu, while Dave Martin, at #2 singles and playing his first team match, dropped a hard-fought two-setter to Gould’s patient Sam Allen. Filling in for traveling ruggers, Zach Johnson showed off a dogged style in a 6-4, 6-2 loss to Husky third singles player, Derek Nagy.
In doubles, first team Nick Osgood and Nick Thieme played a strong match before falling to their Gould counterparts in the third set (2-6, 6-2, 5-7). And in a high point, the second doubles team of Sam Davis and Julian McClain, in their first formal match play, handled the Gould teamof Cohan and Bai, 6-2, 7-5.
The tennis team plays next on Friday at Hyde School.
