The Bedford High School boys tennis team will go for its third straight title, after beating Portsmouth in the Division II semifinals 8-1 on Thursday.

The No. 2 Bulldogs (15-1) [swept the singles matches](http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20120525-SPORTS-205250420?ref=nh-highschoolsports.com), including 8-1 wins by No. 1 Mark HoSang and No. 2 McKinley Grimes, and beat the No. 3 Clippers (14-2) by the same count as they did in the regular season. Portsmouth's only losses this season came at the hands of Bedford.

For the second year in a row, Bedford will face Hanover in the final, which is scheduled for May 29\. No. 1 Hanover (15-0) defeated No. 5 Lebanon, 7-2, in the other semifinal.

While Bedford won last year's final matchup, Hanover handed the Bulldogs their only loss of this season. The teams will meet at 4 p.m. at The Derryfield School.
