With a wet and grey week the Becker Bulldogs boys tennis team really shined through. 

 

 

Hokan Bengtson’s tennis team made an amazing clean sweep of the match they had on Thursday. Due to the weather the match was moved into the field house which drew a nice sized crowd, Bulldogs beat the Mustangs 7-0.

 

“We played a good match against Mora tonight. I was really impressed with the way that our guys focused despite the large crowd there to watch,” says Coach Bengtson.

 

Results:

#1 singles: Brown (BB),6-0, 6-0 over Zach Manley, (MM); #2 singles: Josiah Borst (BB), 6-0,6-1 over Dakota Helmbrecht (MM); #3 singles: Branden Roemer (BB), 6-0, 6-0 over Blake Nosbush (MM); #4 singles: Jackson Lefebvre (BB), 6-0, 6-0 over Micah Reynolds (MM).

 

#1 doubles: Howard/Duke (BB), 6-1, 6-2 over Coleman/Kruger (MM); #2 doubles: Lindquist/Gudim (BB), 6-0, 6-0 over Armstrong/Zumwalt (MM); #3 doubles: Crocker/Schneider (BB), 6-0, 6-1 over Madison/Kruger (MM).

 

On a rescheduled match from Monday’s cancelation, the Bulldogs shut down the Magic.

 

“We played really well, Monticello is a quality team and we had to compete at a high level to beat them,” says Bengtson.

 

Results:

#1 singles: Brown (BB), 6-0,6-0 over Fyle (MM); #2 singles: Borst (BB), 6-2, 6-0 over Phillips (MM);  #3 singles: Roemer (BB), 6-0, 6-1 over Maus (MM); #4 singles: Lefebvre (BB), 6-2, 6-0 over Johnson (MM).

 

#1 doubles: Hill/Duke (BB), 6-1, 6-3 over Bauch/Coffin (MM); #2 doubles: Lindquist/Howard (BB), 6-2, 6-0 over Mcfarlene/Munstertiger (MM); #3 doubles: Gudim/Crocker (BB), 6-2,6-3 over Bartlett/Mierhopher (MM).

 

 

The home opener was a hard earned win for the Bulldogs as the Knights had eight seniors out of their ten players.

 

“They are a well coached team. This was an excellent early season test for us, this is a team that we will most likely see in section play again this season,” says Hokan.

Results:

 

#1 singles: Brown (BB), 6-2, 6-0 over Li (STMA); #2 singles: Borst (BB), 4-6, 6-3, 3-6 lost to Budde (STMA); #3 singles: Roemer (BB), 3-6, 4-6 lost to Rothstein (STMA); #4 singles: Lefebvre (BB),6-3, 6-1 over Dierberger (STMA).

 

#1 doubles: Hill/Duke (BB), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 over Hebeisen/Moser (STMA); #2 doubles: Lindquist/Howard (BB), 7-6, 7-3, 6-3 over Dorland/Carlson (STMA); #3 doubles: Gudim/Crocker (BB), 6-0, 6-4 over Wendell/Nevin (STMA).

 

The Bulldogs boys tennis team looks very strong this year and off to a great start for the season.

 

“Our player to watch this year is Dawson Brown. He is a five year letter winner in tennis and comes into the season as the top singles player in Section 8AA. Dawson is a great competitor; he is driven, focused, and intense on the court. He is also very humbled and coachable. I am excited to be able to coach him for one more season,” says Coach Bengtson.
