Wawasee earned a tight win in its season opener for both clubs in Akron.
Both of Wawasee’s doubles teams earned wins to help the cause. Grant Brooks and Blaine Baut at No. 1 sped past Annakin Petit and Ethan Hartman one and two, while Ty Brooks and Devin Kuhn were also efficient, one and love, over Cooper Walls and Wyatt Reiter.
In singles play, No. 1 Holden Babb defeated Payton Mills 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) to clinch the team win.
Dylan Neese and Owen Kirchenstein both won three setters against Nathan Harper and Zeke Keim, respectively, for the Vikings.
