Boys tennis: Bean, Kulmaticki fall in CIF quarterfinals

HUNTINGTON BEACH - Corona del Mar High juniors Michael Bean and

Peter Kulmaticki won their Round of 16 match Friday in the CIF Southern

Section doubles championships, then lost in the quarterfinals at SeaCliff

Country Club.

Bean and Kulmaticki, doubles champions of the Pacific Coast League,

knocked off Elson Huang and Dennis Jung of Upland in the Round of 16,

6-2, 6-2, then lost to second-seeded Brian Swatt and Ray Hekmat of

Beverly Hills, 6-2, 6-2, in the quarters.

“So they made second-team All-CIF, which isn’t too bad,” CdM boys tennis

coach Tim Mang said.

Bean and Kulmaticki, who didn’t become a doubles team until late in the

season, finished with a 28-4 record together.
