It was only the second loss of the year for NE Metro, who finished with a 15-2 record. The Islanders led at the half, 6-3, and held a slim 9-8 lead after three quarters, but had to overcome an 8-9 deficit to pull out the win late in the fourth quarter. Tim Scott (4), Taylor Pierce (3) and Edison Parzanese (3) did most of the damage. Riley Dobel and Mike Giordano also scored. Tuesday the Islanders took on top-seeded Medfield at Medfield.

According to Coach Fennessy, Patrick Smadbeck played “smart tennis” against Cohasset’s hard-hitting Nils Sceery, losing the first set in a tough tie-beaker and the second set, 6-2. Daniel Han and Timo Nivala played better than the 6-2, 6-1 score would indicate before losing at second doubles. That left the match in the hands of Jeremy Meachem and Nick Wallen at first doubles.
