Varsity Boys Tennis

Jun 27, 2024 | Athletic Highlights

“The Boys Varsity Tennis Team finished the season with a 21-3 won-loss record, after being eliminated from the state tournament at the hands of a tough Delbarton team by a score of 4 to 1. The team went 14-0 in league play to win their (at least) 17th consecutive league title, and finished in 3rd place in the Bergen County Tournament. The team also entered the Prep B Tournament, finishing in 2nd place behind a very tough Montclair-Kimberley squad, with 4 of D-E’s 5 positions advancing to the Finals of that event. Our 2nd doubles tandem of Alex Soracchi ‘24 and Kyle Lee ‘25 won the Bergen County 2nd Doubles Championship. With the lone exception of 3rd singles player Asher Cohen ‘25 the entire D-E team was named 1st Team All-League (Cohen garnered an Honorable Mention). Josh Greene ‘24, the D-E ace for 4 consecutive seasons, earned 2nd Team All-Bergen County recognition, as did the D-E 1st doubles tandem of Davide Orlov ‘24 and Ian Soracchi ‘26, while Kyle Lee ‘25 and Alex Soracchi ‘24 earned 3rd Team recognition there, the ONLY 2nd doubles pair in the county to do so. Davide Orlov ‘24 also became one of a select few players in D-E history to win over 80 career matches. Coach Joe Iwanski, who is stepping down after leading the team for 17 years (16 plus one year lost to COVID-19), wrapped up his coaching career with an overall record of 326 wins and 51 losses, to go along with 16 League Championships, 7 Bergen County Championships, and 2 State Championships.”
