LOCAL NOTES : Mixed Doubles Victory Sparks the Dukes Past San Antonio

The Dukes remained undefeated in World TeamTennis by beating the San Antonio Racquets, 26-23, in overtime Tuesday at McFarland Tennis Center in San Antonio.

The mixed doubles team of Manon Bollegraf and Trevor Kronemann beat Sven Salumaa and Cammy MacGregor, 6-1, to pace the Dukes (4-0). Bollegraf and Kronemann are unbeaten in mixed doubles this season.
