Hi there,
I am currently reading Manhattan "Foundation of Verbal" and there is the following example: " Incorrect: Stuyvesant's math team beat Bronx Science." They then emphasise, that team needs to be matched with parallelism. For instance: "CORRECT: Stuyvesant's math team beat Bronx Science's math team." While I understand this, I am having doubts about the other part of the sentence: "team beat ...team" As I understand it team is a collective noun and should therefore always be treated as singular. Shouldn't it be "team beats ... team".
Thank you very much in advance.

This is a past tense clause, in which one uses only' beat' for both forms of singular and plural nouns. A progressive tense is a better word in such a case, for denoting an on going action. (Team A is beating Team B.) News reporting such as --Brazil beats France and Argentina beats Germany --- are more notional and less formal
