Visiting Brandywine had little trouble defeating Dowagiac 8-0 in the Chieftains’ season opener Wednesday.

The Bobcats, who hadn’t played in over three weeks due to the weather, swept the singles flights in straight sets.

The most competitive matches of the day came at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles.

Katie Rose and Alli Srmek of Brandywine edged Dowagiac’s Madison Proshwitz and Gabby Leonard 3-6, 7-5 and 6-2 at No. 1 doubles.

At No. 2 doubles, the Bobcats’ Allie Wilson and Genesis Martin slipped past Isabel Vazquez and Abigail Brizendine 6-0, 3-6 and 6-1.

“Just a great effort by our entire team,” Brandywine coach Joe Marazita said. “I was really glad to see our No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams win three set matches on the road.”
