St. Augustine freshman Shane Monroe swept the first set of his NJSIAA state singles semifinal match and was up a break at 2-1 in the second set before defending champ Michael Lippens of Shore Regional stormed back for a three-set win on Wednesday at Mercer County Park.
Lippens, a senior who will attend Louisville in the fall, won his 100th career match, 0-6, 6-2, 6-1, and advanced to Thursday's title match against Ramapo's Jonathan Carcione.
Lippens (28-0), unbeaten the last two seasons, was stronger in the heat late in the match than Monroe, who suffered his first loss in 40 matches this spring.
