WILTON – The adverse weather conditions were certainly not conducive to tennis, but the teams would not let Mother Nature stand in their way during a Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference meet Wednesday.

The tandem of Nate Underkuffler and Wes Hinds rallied in two sets for a 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) meet-clincher as Mt. Blue recorded an impressive 3-2 win against Edward Little at wind-chilled Academy Hill.

The clay courts provided for some interesting bounces on both sides of the net and the wind-blown balls resulted in several unforced errors. The tailgate party was secondary to the heat generated on the playing surfaces.

Mt. Blue (2-1) found itself tied 1-1 and the meet could have easily slipped away, but Hinds and Underkuffler put things together at No.1 doubles. The Red Eddies’ Nate Guerette and B.J. Levasseur took the lead behind some well-placed shots.

“These guys have struggled to find their game this season,” Mt. Blue coach John Schoen said. “This is exactly what they needed. The number one thing is that they didn’t panic when they fell behind. They dug deeper and didn’t rely on their opponents making mistakes.”

Edward Little (0-3) fought back behind the second doubles team of Ryan Goss and Jason Riethmann. It was the first time the Red Eddies competed with their starting lineup. Several players were away during vacation week.

Goss delivered a cross-court winner in a tiebreaker to beat Mattie Barker and Joe Gaither, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2).

The Cougars’ Peter Tinguely had the shortest match of the day with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Andrew Knapp at No. 2 singles.

“This was an awesome win,” Schoen said. “The kids showed me some thing because they hung in there. They maintained their focus and it was a great win for these guys.”

In a 90-minute marathon, Joe Fowler held on for a 6-4, 7-5 win against Brian Gleason at No. 3 singles. The match went back and forth even after Gleason broke a racket string and borrowed a teammates’ racket.

“It was OK out there for me,” Fowler said. “The clay courts and wind did make things interesting. A lot of my shots weren’t falling in, but my serves was consistent.”

The final match was at No. 1 singles between Adam Platt of Edward Little and the Cougars’ Tyler Schoen. The opening set went down to the wire, with Platz winning a 7-3 tiebreaker. Platz broke serve at 4-3 and served out the match.
