Sailors tennis sweeps Fruita, 7-0

Steamboat Springs — It was just what the Steamboat Springs High School tennis team needed.
On the eve of one of the biggest tournaments of the year - the Western Slope Open today and Saturday in Grand Junction - Steamboat got just the tune-up it needed Thursday, downing Fruita-Monument, 7-0.
All three singles players - Jamey Swiggart, Keegan Burger and Mirko Erspamer - won.
The No. 1 doubles team of Jeff Lambart and Jack Burger; the No. 2 doubles team of Max Roder and Vladan Chase; the No. 3 doubles team of Callum Richman and Luke Farny; and the No. 4 doubles team of Gabri Erspamer and Kyle Rogers all won in straight sets.
Save for Mirko Erspamer, the Steamboat players won in straight sets.
Mirko, who seems to have a flair for the dramatics, lost his first set before winning the next two in convincing fashion.
"We played a really tough team" Wednesday in Air Academy, Steamboat coach John Aragon said. "Then we had to come out here and play another match. It was good it wasn't a really strenuous match. They'll have to play really hard this weekend."
Today's tournament begins at 8 a.m.
