Peddie defeated Mercersburg 5-2 in a Mid-Atlantic Prep League boys' varsity tennis match played in the Hale Field House April 22.
The Falcons took two of the three doubles contests to secure that point, but Max Zhang '26 and Simon Brennan continued their strong doubles play by winning the #3 match. Zhang also picked up a point with a 7-6, 6-2 victory at #4 singles. Brennan (#5) and Bent Reiche '24 (#6) each played dramatic singles contests that went to a match tiebreak after splitting the first two sets with their opponents. Brennan unfortunately came out on the short end of a 10-4 score in his tiebreak while Reiche earned a second team point by winning his tiebreak by the same 10-4 score.
Mercersburg is now 6-5 overall, 2-1 in the MAPL, and plays next at Georgetown Prep (Washington, DC) on Tuesday, April 25 at 4:30 pm.
