SHORELINE – The Shorewood Thunderbirds boys tennis team stayed undefeated by snagging a 5-2 hard fought Western Conference South Division victory over previously unbeaten Meadowdale Friday at Shoreview Park in Shoreline.
Shorewood improved its record to 5-0 overall. Meadowdale is 4-1.
The Thunderbirds jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage behind the strong play of juniors Jeff Jablonski, and Justin Michelson at No. 1 and 2 singles. Shorewood also won at No. 4 singles.

“Meadowdale is a good team and we hung in there for the win,” Shorewood head coach Corliss Liekkio said.
Shorewood’s youth (five underclassmen in doubles play) was the key component in its victory as it won the final two doubles matches.
