LUMBERTON — Scotland’s boys tennis team defeated Lumberton 8-1 on Tuesday.

Nate Dubbs, Hunter Edkins, Nick Murphy, Drew Hamilton and Nick Eury picked up singles victories for the Fighting Scots. All victories came in a pro set format, which means they played one set to eight games. Dubbs trailed 6-2 in his singles match against Lumberton’s Josh Britt, but Dubbs rallied to earn a 9-7 win.

Scotland swept the three doubles matches. Dubbs and Edkins defeated Britt and Quinton Frederick 8-2, Murphy and Drew Monroe defeated Mason Collins and Elijah Hammonds 8-1, and Hamilton teamed up with Eury to defeat Trevor Cox and Caleb Benson 8-0.

Scotland completed a season sweep of the Pirates. The Scots will have a chance to do the same thing against Richmond on Thursday. Scotland hosts the Raiders at 3:50 for senior night. Pro sets will be used again on Thursday, which means the match will move more quickly than usual.

Senior night is Thursday
