Kyra Bello and Julie Rowan notched a 7-5, 6-1 victory at first doubles to lead Sachem past Eastport-South Manor 5-2. Sachem, the 11th seed, will meet sixth-seed Ward Melville next.

12th seed East Hampton narrowly defeated Longwood 4-3 in a tight first-round matchup, and advances to play fifth-seed Bayport-Blue Point.

The rest of the opening round matches will be played on Wednesday afternoon.
