Chargers open league play with 15-3 triumph

Christian Edstrom dispatched Ventura standout Michael Lowe 6-2 Tuesday to lift the Dos Pueblos boys tennis team to a 15-3 victory. Andy Silverstein and Eric Katz went undefeated at 3-0 in doubles play and lost only four games along the way, while Peter Shao and Robert Laskin each went 2-0 on the singles side.

Warmer conditions reminded us to hydrate ourselves. In addition, both teams shared a mix of mental and physical fatigue along with back soreness and pulled muscles,” said coach Liz Frech. “Nonetheless, each team battled well and showed great sportsmanship.”
