They won 15 of 16 possible points in a 27-2 1/2 rout of fifth-seeded Marshall. The No. 2 Highlanders' (14-2) meal ticket is three almost perfect doubles teams. They swept nine sets against sixth seed Van Nuys (15-1) in a 22 1/2-7 victory. Among them, the tandems of Anand Nurthy and Brad Steinberg, Dustin Sorotsky and Alex Tokar, and Ananya Sreepathi and Steve Choi lost one regular-season City Section match. ``It's definitely going to come down to doubles domination coming through and sweeping,'' said Sorotsky, the Highlanders' senior captain who is unbeaten playing with Tokar. The No. 2 team won their sets 6-4, 6-2 and 6-3 against the Wolves. Steinberg, another senior, opened the year on the singles ladder but joined Nurthy early in the year.

I wouldn't mind playing them in the old format.'' Van Nuys, making its first appearance in the Championship (formerly 4-A) semifinals, got two singles points each from Eugene Han and Danny Kim. The Wolves, unbeaten in preseason and Valley Mission League play, upset third-seeded Palisades Palisades, cliffs along the west bank of the Hudson River, NE N.J. and SE N.Y., extending from N of Jersey City, N.J., to the vicinity of Piermont, N.Y., with a general altitude of from 350 ft to 550 ft (107–168 m). to reach the semifinals. |
