PORTLAND, Maine — Former Hampden Academy tennis star Eliot Potvin captured his second straight men’s open singles title at the Angell Open over the weekend at the Racket and Fitness Center.
Potvin of Portland defeated Dana Parziale of Cumberland, Rhode Island, in the final 6-3, 6-3.
Ashley Avery, a high school senior from Wellesley, Massachusetts, claimed the women’s open singles crown with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Julia Bogan of Falmouth.
Avery also picked up a title in mixed doubles as she and Kip Rogers of Marlborough, Massachusetts, beat Anya Lundeberg of San Diego, California, and Max Schuermann of Dover, Massachusetts, 6-3, 6-1.
Avery also recently won women’s open titles at the St. Paddy’s and Snowflake tourneys at the Racket and Fitness Center.
Potvin is working at the Racket and Fitness Center after a year on a pro tour and a teaching stint in Massachusetts.
The tourney is a fundraiser for NAMI Maine, which provides support and resources for families and people living with mental illness, and is named for the late Chris Angell, a former Maine tennis star who suffered from schizophrenia.
