Posted

The Cranston West boys’ tennis team dropped a hard-fought, 4-3, match to Middletown/Rogers Co-op on Thursday afternoon.

Singles players Jake Meyerson and Mike Davis won their matches, while Hagop Traksian and Andrew Dillon won their doubles match.

With the score tied, 3-3, the Falcons’ No. 2 singles player, Chris Parnagian, ultimately fell in three sets to Middletown’s Jameson McQuade to break the tie and determine the match.

The win pushed Middletown/Rogers to 12-3, earning it the No. 4 seed in this week’s Division II playoffs.

The loss dropped West to 9-6 on the season, clinching it the No. 7 seed for the playoffs.

Meyerson, West’s No. 1 singles player, rolled past Eric Vieira, 6-4, 6-4, before Davis handled Middletown’s Connor Murphy at No. 3 singles, 6-2, 6-1.

Traksian and Dillon also breezed to a victory in No. 2 doubles against John Hebel and Justin Bartenbach, 6-3, 6-2.

The loss secured a first round match-up with Mount St. Charles on Tuesday. The Mounties were 14-1 during the regular season and defeated West, 5-2, back on April 21.

Results from the match were unavailable at press time.
