The Wolverines’ Tri-Valley League title hopes took a big hit with a loss to the Warriors yesterday as they fell to 7-2 on the season.

The Hawks fell to 6-3 overall with a loss to the perennially powerful Pioneers. Xaverian fell in straight sets in all five matches, although Brian Quigley battled to a first set tiebreaker in his 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 loss to Dan Rider at second singles.

After giving the rival Warriors a stern test in the first meeting, the Wolverines were no match in the rematch as Westwood dropped to 7-3 on the season.

The second doubles pair of Sarah Chen and Kelley Steeves claimed the Wolverines only point, rallying from a set down to beat Olivia Faro and Nicole Paratonschi 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Medfield sweep the singles and took first doubles in straight sets.

A shorthanded Marauders club fell back below .500 at 5-6 with yesterday loss to the Raiders.
