The Cape Coral High boys’ tennis team took one on the chin from the Fort Myers Green Wave Tuesday afternoon, but did not go down without a fight.

“They brought their best players,” said Seahawks coach Dave Fortner. “Usually they bring some JV players and roll through us 6-0, 6-0, but out of respect, I guess, they brought their best and we took a few games from them.”

Despite the stronger effort against a stronger foe, the Seahawks suffered their first defeat of the season 7-0.

One match, the No. 5 singles match between Cape’s Alex Ragonese and Mike Green, was still going on when a rainshower arrived to halt play. They were three games into the second set with Green awarded a 6-0, 3-0 win to complete the sweep.

The Seahawks (4-1) are back in action Thursday when they host Cypress Lake.

Singles – Jimmy Martineau (FM) def. Joel Silverberg 6-1, 6-2; J.J. Collins (FM) def. Gerardo Carrizo 6-1, 6-1; Sandon Francis (FM) def. Mitch Irvin 6-1, 6-0; Chilusya Kangwa (FM) def. Arthemon Lis 6-3, 6-1; Mike Green (FM) def. Alex Ragonese 9-0.

Cypress Lake 4, Ida Baker 1: Rain interrupted two matches and a third off never started with Cypress Lake claiming a victory over Ida Baker Tuesday.
