PA tenni earns sweep

BREMERTON — The Port Angeles boys tennis team opened its season with a 7-0 sweep of Bremerton on Wednesday.

The Roughriders didn’t drop a single set in the decisive victory.

Gundersen highlighted the singles players after the match.

“Nathan [Basden], Matthew [Miller], and CJ [Elliott] really got us going early in the match. They were in control from beginning to end,” said Gundersen.
