Staten Island Academy ended St. Joseph Hill’s 34-match S.I. CHSAA winning streak Monday, dating back to the end of 2019, with a stunning 3-2 victory at the College of Staten Island.
The match came down to — as it usually does — the second doubles where Sarah Belushin and Kylie Gonzales (SIA) held off the comeback efforts of Mary Scarangello and Sara Demiri (Hill) 10-8 in a third-set master tiebreaker.
Belushin/Gonzales looked all business as they blanketed the net in the early going. However, Demiri/Scarangello surged late in the first set to even thins at 5-5. However, the Tiger duo ran off the last two games for a 7-5 win.
