Delbarton Tennis, led by coach John Thompson, improved to 8-2 on the season with a big win over Dwight Englewood on Friday, April 22.

Delbarton notched a narrow 3-2 win over Dwight Englewood.  Dwight Englewood came to Delbarton as a rather unknown quantity not gracing the top 20 list this year or playing a strong schedule.  They soon proved that they were a strong team. Dwight Englewood swept Delbarton's first and second doubles to capture 2 points early on in the match but Arjun Bobba won easily at third singles to pull Delbarton within 1 at 2-1. 

Cameron Scarpati battled through injures to win at second singles, tying the match at 2-2.  Will Robinson, who had won the first set fairly easily, lost the second set 6-0.  With the match tied at 2-2, Will saved his best tennis for the third set coming out with an aggressive game plan to give Delbarton the 3-2 win.

The team then traveled to Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, PA for the George Shaefer Doubles Tournament.  The tournament featured 16 teams from New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Washington DC.  Delbarton played very hard, against some of the best teams in the tri-state area, taking third place with 17 points.  Brunswick School earned first overall with 32 points, followed by Sidwell Friends with 20.  Delbarton's results are as follows:

Will Robinson and Cameron Scarpati: Semi Finalists at first doubles 
Hudson Bonetti and Anthony Reale: Runners Up in Consolation Finals second doubles
Tyler Eagan and Arjun Bobba: Runners up in Third doubles
Julien Dietrich and Chris Lee: Semi finalists, fourth doubles

The boys also enjoyed a Philadelphia Phillies game on Saturday after the first two rounds before returning Sunday for the semis and finals!
