Bremerton 6, Port Angeles 1
BREMERTON — The Roughriders dropped an Olympic League match that coach Gil Stockton said was closer than the score indicates.
“The 6-1 loss . . . does not describe how close the match was nor the improvement in their play,” Stockton said of his players.
After winning only a few games in their first meeting with Bremerton earlier this season, the Riders took the Knights to three three-set matches Wednesday and won a singles match.
Janson Pederson was that winner, defeating Cameron Dubos 6-4, 6-4.
“In one of the best matches he has played this season, Janson Pederson took a couple of cues and executed his plan on how to win over a very tough Cameron Dubos,” Stockton said.
“Janson took his game to a new level and will be tough to beat the remainder of the season.”
Pederson earned the team’s game ball.
Kenny Soule, in his first singles match in his career, took the No. 3 singles match to the point where the result could have gone either way.
Port Angeles doubles teams Hayden Woods and Carson Jackson and Devun Wahsten and Wes Duncan took their matches to three sets against experienced Bremerton duos.
“One only has to look at the number of tiebreakers to see how close these matches were,” Stockton said.
Port Angeles (1-5, 3-5) hosts Olympic (4-2, 7-2) on Monday.
“We still have a long way to go, but to see how well the guys played and demonstrated improvement makes coaching a treat,” Stockton said.
“All in all, I am very pleased in the growth of this very young team.”
