Rockets open season 2-0
Herald staff reports
It�s still early in the season, but through two meets the Rocket tennis team is still perfect.
The Rockets swept Oil City Friday afternoon, 5-0, for their second sweep in as many opportunities.
The win, however, was certainly well earned as three matches required a third set.
�They were pretty hard fought (matches),� Titusville coach Tom Bodamer said. �It was one of those matches that could have gone either way. As it turned out, fortunately, we came out on top.�
At No. 1 singles, Toby Cressman was one of the Rockets that needed an extra frame to earn the �W�. He defeated Adam Gill 6-2 in the first game before losing the second, 5-7. In a back-and-forth third frame, Cressman came out on top, 7-5.
Ben Kristobak won the No. 2 singles spot in two games, 6-3, 6-1. But No. 3 player Greg Dupree needed an extra set to finish off Jirat Phannachet, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5.
In doubles action, Rockets Leoni Siliga and Casey Childers teamed up to defeat Ryan Friebhaver and Andrew Kozek, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. The No. 2 doubles team of Jeff Ledebur and Jesse Wig won, 6-2, 6-2.
The Rockets will be back in action Monday when they travel to Meadville to face the Bulldogs.
