DAY IN SPORTS: H.-W. PLAYS THIN BUT WINS ANYWAY.


Byline: Daily News

The Harvard-Westlake High boys' tennis team has plenty of depth on its roster and needed every bit of it Wednesday.

Nursing several injuries, the Wolverines of Studio City put together a makeshift lineup and scrambled for an 11-7 victory over Calabasas in a nonleague match at Studio City Golf and Tennis.

Harvard-Westlake (13-0) was without several starters. No. 1 singles player Jesse Ferlianto has a pulled hamstring, suffered last weekend during a national tournament for players 18 and under.

Also, No. 1 doubles player James Thayer

, No. 3 singles player John Lee had the flu, and the No. 3 doubles team of Sam Wagner (bad back) and Joel Walls (college recruiting trip) were absent.

So the Wolverines used their depth to fill the holes. Jon Rubenstein, who normally teams with Thayer in doubles, moved to the No. 1 singles spot and won two of three matches.

Jon Greenberg also won two singles matches, filling in for Lee at the No. 3 spot, and Chris Hom and Greg Sher combined to sweep in No. 1 doubles.

 said. ``It really helps in situations like these.''

The Coyotes (11-3), who had won their past 11 matches, were led by No. 1 singles player Gary Sacks. He improved to 31-3 on the season by sweeping his sets 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.
