USCAK-East tennis tournament opens season at Soyuzivka

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - This year's USCAK-East tennis tournament was held at Soyuzivka during the weekend of June 30-July 1. Normally held during the long Fourth of July weekend, the tournament this year attracted fewer participants than expected. Competition was in singles only in the men's open and seniors categories. The planned doubles tournament did not take place because of a lack of entries.

In the men's open category the championship was won by Craig Pearson, a participant of a number of tennis camps at Soyuzivka and presently a college player. ln the finals he defeated George Cikalo who, with the score 6-0, 4-2, could not continue competing.

Third place went to Damian Zajac, also a young Soyuzivka Camp participant, who defeated the more experienced Alex Narodnycky by the score of 6-2, 6-3.

In the seniors category the championship went to George Petrykevych. In the finals he defeated Ihor Buhaj, 6-2, 6-4. Walter Dzivak took third place with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Bohdan Kutko.

The next Ukrainian tennis tournament will be the USCAK Championships, which will be held during Labor Day weekend, September 1-3, at Soyuzivka.
