Late last month, the Central volleyball team ended a long losing streak to Memorial.

On Wednesday, it was the Crimson Chargers’ turn to break an ugly streak, as Memorial’s tennis team defeated Central for the first time in a decade.

Coach Mike Harnett’s Chargers won the three singles matches on Wednesday, which was just enough to beat the Blue Blazers, 3-2.

“This was one of the goals coming into this year,” Harnett said. “The kids stayed focused and played a tough match. They really responded to the challenge and played with a purpose.”

“You really have to hand it to Memorial,” Central coach Dave Whittaker said. “The No. 1 singles match could have gone either way, but they were able to win there and get the victory.”

Memorial’s Mazin Hakim edged Nick Burton at No. 1 singles by a score of 7-6 (7-4) and 7-5.

The Chargers are now 9-3 overall, while Central falls to 5-5.
