INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The South Tahoe boys tennis team needed only two chances to pick up its first win of the 2015 season. The Vikings beat Incline 12-6 on Thursday, Sept. 3, winning four sets in each round en route to victory.

South Tahoe (1-1 I-A Northern) delivered a consistent performance in Thursday’s win. The Vikings won four sets in each round, and got two wins apiece from each spot in the lineup.
