Wellesley coach Rob Miller knew it would require a full-team effort to capture consecutive Division 1 state titles.

True to form, the Raiders opened Sunday’s battle-of-unbeatens championship match against Lexington with dominant victories from standout sophomores Bella Gopen and Kimmy Tai at first and second singles, respectively.

But to get over the top, the Raiders needed at least one doubles pair to come through.

After dropping the opening set, Wellesley’s top pairing of sophomore Mia Chung and junior Sari Hart rallied for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory to clinch the deciding point in Wellesley’s 3-2 win at MIT’s DuPont Courts.

During a changeover ahead of their second-set tiebreaker, St. John’s Prep junior Wade Evitts turned to doubles partner James de Buy Wenniger with a sudden realization.

“I [looked around] and was like, ‘They’re going to need our point. This is going to be big,’ ” Evitts said.

Though second doubles had been the Eagles’ rockiest spot, Evitts and de Buy Wenniger charged back with a spirited 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 triumph to clinch St. John’s Prep’s 3-1 win over Lexington in Sunday’s Division 1 championship at MIT.

When Manchester Essex overcame Lynnfield in last year’s Division 4 boys’ tennis state championship, the Hornets’ top singles star Jack Cummins described it as “feeling like a big-time upset.”

But returning to the precipice in a finals rematch Sunday, the top-seeded Hornets were confident from the start.

Led by a deciding 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 victory by seniors Shay Engelhart and Charlie Rubens at second doubles, Manchester Essex (22-1) earned a 3-2 win over Cape Ann rival Lynnfield in the Division 4 boys championship at MIT’s duPont Courts.

It marked the Hornets’ second-straight year topping the Pioneers by a one-point margin in the final, after last year’s win snapped a 26-year title drought.

The pre-match nerves came naturally, but Naomi Provost approached the championship with confidence.

After all, winning is all she’s ever known.

Coming into Sunday’s Division 4 girls’ tennis championship with three state titles, the Hamilton-Wenham senior was determined to get her fourth. With her convincing 6-1, 6-3 victory at No. 1 singles, she did just that — leading the fourth-ranked Generals (18-2) to a 5-0 sweep of No. 6 Manchester Essex (12-8) to complete the four-peat.

“It obviously was scary going into it, but I knew we could do it together as a team,” said Provost.

For the first time in 16 years, Dover-Sherborn is taking home a girls’ tennis state championship.

The top-seeded Raiders used their tenacious and focus to shut out No. 3 Martha’s Vineyard, 5-0, Sunday for the Division 3 state title at MIT’s duPont Courts. It marks Dover-Sherborn’s first championship since 2009.

“We’ve been playing since March 17th, but we’ve been quiet and humble and saying ‘it’s our time,’ ” said Dover-Sherborn coach Ashley Tuccillo. “We kept on saying that all season.”

In a rematch of last year’s Division 3 boys tennis championship, the tables were turned.

Longtime Dual County League foes Bedford and Weston faced each other again, but this time top-seeded Bedford came into the title match at MIT’s duPont Courts with the momentum. Thirteen-time champion Weston, which had won seven years in a row, was the sixth seed, and fell to the Bucs in the regular season.

Bedford carried the season’s trend through Sunday’s match, defeating No. 6 Weston, 4-1, to win its first state championship since 2015. It is the first time since 2016 the Wildcats did not take the title.

With the match deadlocked and the Division 2 state title hinging on the third set at No. 3 singles, Longmeadow coach Michael Framarin felt “super calm.”

Framarin had confidence that junior Ellie Kennedy would pull through under pressure.

In the decisive third set against Wayland senior Olivia Todd, Kennedy jumped out to a 5-0 lead and dropped five match points before finally sealing a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory.

Kennedy’s win delivered a 3-2 triumph for top-ranked Longmeadow (24-0) at MIT’s duPont Courts, sending home No. 2 Wayland (14-6) in a match that lasted more than three hours. The win secured consecutive undefeated seasons and state titles for the Lancers.

For the seniors on the Duxbury boys’ tennis squad, it was only fitting that the final match of their high school careers came against Westborough.

With last year’s heartbreaking loss as motivation, the Dragons flipped the script in the rematch Sunday afternoon at MIT’s duPont Courts, sweeping to a 5-0 triumph in the Division 2 state final.

For the fourth-seeded Dragons (20-3), it’s the second title in three years and seventh in program history.

The BC High rugby team averaged 58.5 points per game as it tore through Division 1 on its way to an undefeated regular season.

But Saturday at Curry College, it was a controlled, methodical approach that secured the Eagles a repeat title. In a wet, low-scoring slog, top-seeded BC High suffocated No. 2 Xaverian, 13-7, in a rematch of last year’s championship. It was the program’s fifth MIAA title, a state-high.

“It was not the style we want to play,” BC High coach Paul Carty said. “But these guys would play in a volcano. They love each other, and they just love playing.”

After full-time at Curry College on Saturday, the public address announcer remarked it was hard to tell who had won.

Both the Belmont girls’ rugby team, which clinched its seventh consecutive state title in a dominating 69-21 victory, and Lincoln-Sudbury erupted into celebration after the final whistle, before each gave the other a guard of honor.

Lincoln-Sudbury’s 21 points were the most against Belmont in more than three years, and that was a victory for all involved in a sport that’s been prohibitively dominated by the Marauders throughout its MIAA history.

“Girls rugby in the state is getting really competitive, so it’s fun to watch that,” said Belmont coach Kate McCabe. “I want other teams to put those pieces together on us. We need that, and they’re doing it.”

As he walked into the try-zone midway through a dominant state championship performance, Juneau Mofford leaped up, extended both arms and belly-flopped onto the Curry College turf.

“I like to showboat a little bit,” the senior captain joked.

Leading 40-0, the Hanover boys’ rugby team knew, at long last, it had its second MIAA title and first since 2017 in its grasp.

The top-seeded Hawks (9-0) started the season as the Division 2 favorites, rolled through their early opponents, then kept getting better. The culmination was a 59-7 demolition of No. 2 Brookline (7-3) in Saturday’s state championship.
